Description xyzgooacc 2023-12-16 05:11:31 UTC
The current arrow vec/widevec is pointing at the right side, and we need an arrow that is reversed which points to the left side.
Comment 1 V Stuart Foote 2023-12-16 17:01:40 UTC
The Unicode U+20D0 COMBINING LEFT HARPOON ABOVE, or U+20D6 COMBINING LEFT ARROW ABOVE can be appended as a literal via <Alt>+X toggle; but it is clunky.

Some work to add to OpenSymbol font as was done for bug 120047 [1] for HARPOON and WIDEHARPOON at the 6.3 release.

@Khaled, easy hack worthy?
