Is dangerous bend a classical symbol in TeX?

Question

In TeXbook, there's such a symbol,. Is this a classical symbol in TeX? I remembered seeing this somewhere else, and it was also a handout or book produced by LaTeX. If so, is there any method to input this apart from inserting it as a picture?

Oddly enough this one can't be found in e.g. deTeXify (How to look up a symbol or identify a letter from a math alphabet or other character? - TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange), but then this one takes 4 strokes to draw so maybe I just didn't use the correct order. — user202729, Nov 20 '22 at 10:42

See page 188 of The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List : manfnt package, \dbend.

Edit: suggested the reversed symbol. Corrected thanks to @Teepeemm.
