A while ago, I was searching for a TeX package which would provide a double integral symbol with a circle which I could use to typeset some lecture notes on surface integrals. I happened upon the esint package, which includes several integral symbols I had never seen before. In particular, integral symbols with a square (\sqint
and \sqiint
), a sloped dash (\fint
) and the very curious \landupint
and \landdownint
. Is anyone familiar with any uses for these symbols?

The one with the sloped dash is sometimes used to denote integral averages:
\fint_A $f(x)d\mu(x) = \frac{1}{\mu(A)} \int_{A} f(x) d\mu(x)$
