How to type Circlearrowleft

Write \circlearrowleft inside math mode, that is between $…$ for inline math or in a \[ … \] or equation block for display math. This symbol needs the amssymb package, so add \usepackage{amssymb} to your preamble.

Arrows are relations in LaTeX, so \circlearrowleft gets the same thick spacing as an equals sign. With unicode-math under XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, typing ↺ in a formula gives the same symbol.
