How to type Twoheadleftarrow

Write \twoheadleftarrow 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 \twoheadleftarrow gets the same thick spacing as an equals sign. With unicode-math under XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, typing ↞ in a formula gives the same symbol.

Example
$A \twoheadleftarrow B$A↞BA \twoheadleftarrow BA↞B
