symbols
I have a fancyhdr footer with my personal data and I would like to add some cute symbol inline with my website url. I've already included the marvosym package and used:
\Letter symbol before my email address\Telefon symbol before my phone number.I need a nice symbol for my website url. Could you please suggest me one?
The following example constructs the symbol in the following way:
\UpDownYFactor to a value different than 1.MnSymbol: \upY and \downY.\mathbin.Example file:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{trimclip}
\makeatletter
\providecommand*{\upY}{%
\mathbin{%
\mathpalette\@updownY{0}%
}%
}
\providecommand*{\downY}{%
\mathbin{%
\mathpalette\@updownY{1}%
}%
}
\providecommand*{\UpDownYFactor}{1}
\newcommand*{\@updownY}[2]{%
% #1: math style
% #2: 0 = up, 1 = down
\sbox0{$#1+\m@th$}%
\dimen2=.5\dimexpr\wd0-\ht0-\dp0\relax
% => \dimen2: side bearing
\sbox2{$#1\vcenter{}$}%
\dimen4=\dimexpr\ht0-\ht2\relax
% => \dimen4: branch length
\setbox0=\hbox to 0pt{%
\hss
\clipbox{%
0pt %
{\dimexpr\totalheight-\UpDownYFactor\dimen4\relax} %
0pt %
-\dimen2%
}{$#1|$}%
\hss
}%
\ht0=\dimexpr\ht0-\dimen2\relax
\kern\dimen2 %
\raise\ht2\hbox{%
\ifnum#2=0 %
{\rotatebox{120}{\copy0}}%
\copy0 %
{\rotatebox{-120}{\copy0}}%
\else
{\rotatebox{60}{\copy0}}%
{\rotatebox{180}{\copy0}}%
{\rotatebox{-60}{\copy0}}%
\fi
}%
\kern\dimen2 %
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\[\begin{array}{c}
a \upY b \downY c
\\
\scriptstyle
a \upY b \downY c
\\
\scriptscriptstyle
a \upY b \downY c
\\
\rlap{$\upY$}{\downY}
\end{array}\]
\end{document}
For analyzing the center:
\usepackage{pdfrender}
...
\[
\rlap{%
\sbox0{$\vcenter{}$}%
\sbox2{${\upY}{\downY}{\upY}$}%
\raise\ht0\hbox{\vrule height.01pt depth.01pt width\wd2}%
}%
\pdfrender{TextRenderingMode=Stroke, LineWidth=.01pt}
{\upY}\rlap{$\upY$}{\downY}{\downY}
\]
Here are two possible alternatives. In both cases (\symA and \symB), I use both a left and right arrow joined in order to get a wider arrow. The \mkern can be increased negatively, if you want the width narrower. The \symA uses the \triangleq component from amssymb, but the vertical gap can be controlled with the optional argument to \stackon. The \symB does not require amssymb, but tries to mimic the tapered equal sign you showed in your figure, by using stacked \rules. Again, the vertical spacings are adjustable.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[usestackEOL]{stackengine}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\def\symA{\mathrel{\stackon[-0.8pt]{\leftarrow\mkern-6mu\rightarrow}%
{\scriptstyle\triangleq}}}
\def\symB{\mathrel{\stackon[.7pt]{\leftarrow\mkern-6mu\rightarrow}%
{\setstackgap{S}{0pt}\Shortstack{%
\scriptscriptstyle\triangle\\\rule[.8pt]{6pt}{0.25pt}\\\rule{8pt}{.25pt}}}}}
\stackMath
\begin{document}
$A \symA B \symB C$
\end{document}

How about
\Mundusfor a “World” symbol, or maybe\ComputerMouse?Both also from
marvosym.In any case have a look at the comprehensive symbol list for further ideas.
