Onedrive started giving us trouble recently. Files got moved from subfolders to the root of the library. Some searching and ignoring Microsoft own answers which basically was to reinstall or repair one user in a support thread gave me the information needed to fix this.
Apparently Onedrive doesn't like numbers in the beginning of folder names and it appears the risk of onedrive acting up is higher if there are a lot of subfolders. Some folders only got less than 10 subfolders but the troublemakers had over a hundred.
One solution is to delete the folder recreate and move the files back in there but there is no guarantee they wont throw back files to root. So I experimented and added a letter in front of the numbers and voila the problem fixed itself. The files in root even moved back to their correct folders.

Report it to Microsoft: they won't fix it, but it might make you feel better! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Or maybe it will just result in another sigh. Worth a shot at least.

My kid's algebra homework contains a symbol like an anti-clockwise arrow, sort of the opposite of ↻ (if it'll display).
It's mixed in with "rational exponents" and my wife and I have never seen them. We have been unable to figure out what it means and the kid doesn't seem to know.

Any of the younger folk know what it means?

Nothing comes up with Google.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Got a unicode point for it? The name might give a clue.

Not really[^]
Anticlockwise open circle arrow

Hmmm. That's in a Unicode block of assorted arrows, not the mathematical operators block(s). The plot thickens...

I am not of the younger folks but I seem to remember that one might represent a 3/2D rotation with a vector adorned with such an arrow.
In which the vector axis is the rotation axis and the length / norm is the angle of rotation...

From what I have learned, anti-clockwise moment is indicated with that symbol (along with a '+' or '-' sign). But that's Mechanics (Statics) and I don't recollect anything with that symbol in Algebra.
I ain't got no signature.

I thought the same thing. Why not go to the teacher first.

There should be some explanation at the first point in the book where it is introduced. Or, is there some kind of glossary in the back of the book?

So I would think, but they weren't issued books.

Crazy. That's probably why QA has so many requests to do homework.

A math class.
With no books.

With any luck, the teacher will be mounted to the front of the savages' leader's vehicle when they storm the refuge of the survivors...

Apparently the books are supposed to stay in the room.

I stand by my original response.

Guess where the knowledge will likely stay. Effing school boards, I'll bet the Supervisor makes a great deal of money, while "saving" so much on the education of children.

Soooo right. It's a nightmare, with hastily bodged-together curriculum with no backup at all. Makes me crazy, and my kid's just in elementary school.

I haven't searched, but you could try looking for it in Latex and seeing if that offers any clues via name/documentation etc.

My wife and I both searched. Even Wolfram seemed to just shrug.
We wouldn't be surprised to find that it's the wrong symbol. Or some cockamamie new "common core"  thing.

My guess, based on the context of the formula, would be that it means "simplify". Now, if your child is in a graduate course on non-associative algebra, the answer may be different.

Sure it's not a printing error? A multiplication sign that is messed up? That would make the most sense to me at least.
