I would like to make a new math symbol from overlapping two symbols, such as $\nabla\kern-7.5pt\nabla$
. The problem is that the symbol spacing is altered depending on the line, often to the point where the overlap is not recognisable. From looking at other replies I understand that fixing this is likely to do with adding box commands, but there are so many of these that I am not sure where to start! Any help appreciated (I am obviously not an expert …)

I would use
\mkern
instead of\kern
, because it uses unitmu
, which follows the math style:Adjust the shift value to your needs.
