Leftwards Arrow Through Less-than Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Leftwards Arrow Through Less-than because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+2977, which you can use as ⥷ in HTML, \2977 in CSS, or type with Alt+10615 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Leftwards Arrow Through Less-than is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+2977 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Leftwards Arrow Through Less-than has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ⥷ or the hex escape ⥷.
