I want to get that fancy LaTeX symbol to put in one of my documents but I cannot find it anywhere. All searching for things like latex symbol have not resulted in the symbol but other symbols.
[Tex/LaTex] How to get “LaTeX” symbol in document

This solution demonstrates how an \includegraphics approach could be made to work conveniently.
If the new symbol should conform to the vertical extent of an existing glyph, then this approach will work handily. In the MWE, I make the symbol \schtreber conform to the height of a "b" and then a "g", respectively. It will scale with math style.
If the symbol is a relation or operator, the definition could include a \mathrel or \mathop.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{scalerel}
\begin{document}
\def\schtreber{\scalerel*{\includegraphics{schtreber}}{b}}
$ab\schtreber c \scriptscriptstyle ab\schtreber c$
$ y = x^{\schtreber}$
\def\schtreber{\scalerel*{\includegraphics{schtreber}}{g}}
$ab\schtreber c \scriptscriptstyle ab\schtreber c$
$ y = x^{\schtreber}$
\end{document}
If the vertical extent is to be arbitrary, a \rule may be used for the target size, where \LMpt (local-mathstyle pts) or \LMex (local-mathstyle ex's) are used to define the dimensions of the rule. Here I place the image in a \savebox initially, in the event that some flavors of TeX don't save a local copy from \includegraphics.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{scalerel}
\newsavebox\schtreberbox
\savebox\schtreberbox{\includegraphics{schtreber}}
\def\schtreber{\scalerel{\usebox{\schtreberbox}}{\rule[-2\LMpt]{0pt}{8\LMpt}}}
\begin{document}
$ab\schtreber c \scriptscriptstyle ab\schtreber c$\par
$ y = x^{\schtreber}$
\end{document}
The advantage of the former, rather than the latter approach is that the method will also work in both text and math mode, as expected:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{scalerel}
\newsavebox\schtreberbox
\savebox\schtreberbox{\includegraphics{schtreber}}
\def\schtreber{\scalerel*{\usebox{\schtreberbox}}{b}}
\begin{document}
$ab\schtreber c \scriptscriptstyle ab\schtreber c$\par
$ y = x^{\schtreber}$
In text\schtreber, \LARGE text\schtreber.
\end{document}
Those symbols are in IPA:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tipa}
\begin{document}
\textsubbridge{t}\quad
\textyogh\quad
\textesh\quad
\textdyoghlig\quad
\textteshlig
\end{document}
For the last one you might prefer
\texttoptiebar{t\textesh}
The characters are available in some OpenType fonts, for example FreeSerif. Compile the following with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{FreeSerif}
\begin{document}
\textsubbridge{t}\quad
\textyogh\quad
\textesh\quad
\textdyoghlig\quad
\textteshlig\quad
\texttoptiebar{t\textesh}
\end{document}

You simply type
\LaTeX. One problem with this is that if you type it a lot of times in your text you will need to type\LaTeX\␣¹ (i.e., followed by\and an actual space) to force a space after it.Also personally I find the capitalization of
LandTleads to typing errors, so I redefine the command as follows:\xspaceis from thexspacepackage. Additionaly, writing \LaTeX{} adds the space after.¹
␣is used here to represent a normal space "", which wouldn’t show up at the end of Markdown code markup.
