[Tex/LaTex] readymade symbol for a 90 degrees rotated \Bowtie

symbols

Where do I find a symbol that looks like a slightly smaller version of a 90 degrees rotated \Bowtie from the wasysym package?

Something like alt text.

I couldn't find anything in the usual tables. The detexify site yields nothing close. I managed the following hack (which defines a binary operator):

\documentclass[12pt]{article}  
\usepackage{wasysym,graphicx}  
\newcommand{\uproduct}{\mathbin{\;{\rotatebox{90}{$\small\Bowtie$}}}}
\begin{document}  
$A \uproduct B$  
\end{document}

It produces alt text. Although it looks OK here, it looks bad when used in a subscript. This is surely not the right solution. I'd well believe that a solution using metafont exists, but would prefer something less esoteric. Perhaps there is a standard symbols package that I overlooked?

**EDIT: Geoffrey and Aditya gave admirable solutions for creating this symbol (I'm sorry for previously calling them "hacks"). And Seamus found a font package.
