A hollow circle on a number line typically indicates that the endpoint is not included in the solution. If the hollow circle is pointing left, it suggests that the values to the left of that point are included in the inequality.
For a hollow circle pointing left at a point \( a \), the appropriate inequality would be:
\[ x < a \]
So, the answer is \( < \).
