Smalltalk's left arrow is actually _. Before ASCII was fully standardized to what we know today, ^ was ↑ and _ was ←. This is visible in some later character sets, like PETSCII and the fonts used for Smalltalk. In Smalltalk, you can still type 'a _ foo' and it will assign foo to a.





In Cuis Smalltalk, you can still type

    b _ 5
and see

    b ← 5
and copy / paste here and see

    b := 5
