U+22A3 Left Tack

U+22A3 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+2200 to U+22FF Mathematical Operators in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Math Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The character is also known as reverse turnstile, non-theorem and does not yield.

The glyph is not a composition. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is mirrored into Glyph for U+22A2 Right Tack. The word that U+22A3 forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

In mathematics, specifically category theory, adjunction is a relationship that two functors may exhibit, intuitively corresponding to a weak form of equivalence between two related categories. Two functors that stand in this relationship are known as adjoint functors, one being the left adjoint and the other the right adjoint. Pairs of adjoint functors are ubiquitous in mathematics and often arise from constructions of "optimal solutions" to certain problems (i.e., constructions of objects having a certain universal property), such as the construction of a free group on a set in algebra, or the construction of the Stone–Čech compactification of a topological space in topology.

By definition, an adjunction between categories C and D is a pair of functors (assumed to be covariant)

F:DC   and   G:CD

and, for all objects X in C and Y in D, a bijection between the respective morphism sets

homC(FY,X)homD(Y,GX)

such that this family of bijections is natural in X and Y. Naturality here means that there are natural isomorphisms between the pair of functors C(F,X):DSetop and D(,GX):DSetop for a fixed X in C, and also the pair of functors C(FY,):CSet and D(Y,G):CSet for a fixed Y in D.

The functor F is called a left adjoint functor or left adjoint to G, while G is called a right adjoint functor or right adjoint to F. We write FG.

An adjunction between categories C and D is somewhat akin to a "weak form" of an equivalence between C and D, and indeed every equivalence is an adjunction. In many situations, an adjunction can be "upgraded" to an equivalence, by a suitable natural modification of the involved categories and functors.
