About the rightwards arrow with tail symbol

The glyph shows an arrow pointing to the right whose shaft ends in a short, downward hook or tail, distinguishing it from a plain rightward arrow. It is classified as a mathematical symbol and belongs to the broader set of arrow characters used in technical notation.

This arrow is employed in mathematics and logic to denote a specific type of mapping, implication, or transformation that is not a straightforward function—often indicating a partial, restricted, or otherwise modified relation. It also appears in diagrams and informal notation where a standard arrow would be too simple to convey the intended nuance.
