rightarrowtail
Denotes a right arrow with a small tail at its base, commonly used to represent injective functions or specialized mappings in mathematics.
Overview
Serves as a specialized mathematical arrow notation primarily found in advanced algebra, category theory, and theoretical mathematics.
- Frequently used to indicate injective (one-to-one) functions or morphisms
- Common in diagram chasing and commutative diagrams
- Appears in textbooks and papers discussing function properties and mathematical structures
- Often paired with other arrow symbols to create precise mathematical notation
Examples

H \rightarrowtail GIndicating an injective function mapping between sets.
f: X \rightarrowtail YRepresenting a monomorphism in category theory.
