Suppose I have a map A → B which is an isomorphism. I'd like to represent this as something that looks like \rightarrow
with \sim
under it. I could try \underset{}_{}
, but is there already a ready made symbol?
I couldn't find the symbol using Detexify, nor in the comprehensive list of LaTeX symbols.

Theoretically, you could use
\xrightarrow[\sim]{}
(fromamsmath
) or\xlongrightarrow[\sim]{}
(fromextarrows
). Both look horrible though. The\sim
on top of the arrow (like\xlongrightarrow{\sim}
) looks somewhat better.Unicode defines ⥴ (U+2974 RIGHTWARDS ARROW ABOVE TILDE OPERATOR), which you can use in case you run Xe/LuaLaTeX with
unicode-math
(either directly or with the\rightarrowsimilar
alias). There are also ⥱ (\equalrightarrow
), ⥲ (\similarrightarrow
), ⥳ (\leftarrowsimilar
), ⥵ (\rightarrowapprox
) and other strange things.
