[Tex/LaTex] How to make a right angle symbol ⦝

symbols

How can I make the symbol ⦝ (measured right angle with dot, U+299D) with LaTeX?

(I tried Detexify and The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List)

And a TikZ version:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{tikz}

\newcommand\RADot{%
  \mathord{%
    \mspace{1mu}%
    \text{\radot}%
    \mspace{1mu}%
  }%
}

\newcommand\radot{%
    \tikz[line cap=round,x=1ex,y=1ex,line width=0.3pt]
    {\draw (0,1) |- (1,0) (0.55,0) arc(0:90:0.55); \fill (0.23,0.23) circle (0.05);}%
}

\begin{document}

$a\RADot_{\RADot_{\RADot}}$

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Looking for symbol: Shield

You could, of course, use TikZ for this:

The symbol will scale with your font size, since it uses ex to define the path.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\newcommand\shield{%
    \tikz [baseline] \draw (0,1.75ex) -- (0,0.75ex) arc [radius=0.75ex, start angle=-180, end angle=0] -- (1.5ex,1.75ex) -- cycle;%
}

A shield: \shield
\end{document}

If you're feeling fancy, you could parametrise it a bit:

\documentclass[border=3mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\newcommand\shield[1][]{%
\tikzset{
    shield width/.store in=\shieldwidth,
    shield width=1.5ex,
    shield height/.store in=\shieldheight,
    shield height=1.75ex
}%
\tikz [baseline,#1] \draw (0,\shieldheight) -- (0,\shieldwidth/2) arc [radius=\shieldwidth/2, start angle=-180, end angle=0] -- (\shieldwidth,\shieldheight) -- cycle;%
}

A shield: \shield

A wide shield: \shield[shield width=2ex]

A tall shield: \shield[shield height=3ex]
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Currency symbol: French franc

The Unicode symbol for ₣ is:

U+20A3 FRENCH FRANC SIGN

Libertine is an example for a Unicode font that supports the character:

% lualatex or xelatex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{libertineotf}
\begin{document}
^^^^20a3 % ASCII notation
\end{document}

Example for GNU FreeFont:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\begin{document}
\fontspec{FreeSerif.otf}
^^^^20a3
\end{document}

Another example for Times New Roman (from Windows 7):

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\begin{document}
\fontspec{times.ttf}
^^^^20a3
\end{document}

\fontspec{Comfortaa-Regular.ttf}% Comfortaa Regular:

\fontspec{OpenSans-Regular.ttf}% Open Sans Regular:

Example for `siunitx` and pdfLaTeX

If lualatex or pdflatex cannot be used, then the symbol can be included as graphics. The graphics is generated by:

% franc.tex
\nofiles
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\begin{document}
\fontspec{FreeSerif.otf}
^^^^20a3
\end{document}

It is compiled via:

$ lualatex franc
$ pdfcrop franc

Then franc-crop.pdf can be used as image for pdfLaTeX:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\DeclareRobustCommand*{\myfranc}{\includegraphics[scale=.1]{franc}}
\DeclareSIUnit{\franc}{\myfranc}

\begin{document}
\SI{123.45}{\franc}
\end{document}

If you are using lualatex or xelatex, then the font can be used directly, e.g.:

\DeclareRobustCommand*{\myfranc}{%
  \begingroup
    \fontspec{FreeSerif.otf}%
    ^^^^20a3%
  \endgroup
}
