LaTeX arrow ) -->

Question

I need to make an arrow similar to this )-->. I cannot get the ) to size with the ->. I have tried {\tiny )}\!\rightarrow and {\small)}\!rightarrow and the ) is too large for the arrow.

Any suggestions?

Also, TikZ can be quite useful for this. The Arc Barb from the arrows.meta library can be used and the size can be easily adjusted. Here is a new command \barb for convenience in both text and math modes.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta}
\begin{document}

\newcommand{\barb}{%
  \tikz{\draw[{Arc Barb[reversed]}-{latex}] (0,0)--(.5,0);}
}

$x\, \barb\, y$

text \barb tetxt

\end{document}

This is the most flexible but note that it would not adapt to different math contexts (e.g. subscripts) – Bordaigorl Feb 27 '17 at 17:22

Maybe \rightarrowtail from amssymb package will be fine for you. Here is a sample code that works for me.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\begin{document}
$\rightarrowtail$
\end{document}

What about something like this?

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb} 
\newcommand{\myarrow}{\raisebox{.5pt}{$\scriptstyle)$}\mspace{-7mu}\rightarrow}
\begin{document}
\[
\raisebox{.5pt}{$\scriptstyle)$}\mspace{-7mu}\rightarrow
\]
Of course, you can use a new command:
\[
\myarrow
\]
\end{document}

LaTeX arrow ) -->
