I am writing lots of mathematics within electrical engineering, where I often need to specify which of two connection types I am talking about.
One is called Delta, specified with a triangle $\Delta$
. The other is called Wye/Star, a three legged star with $120\degree$
separated legs, like in the picture below.
What I wish for is a way to inline with the mathematics write $\wye$
and get the depicted symbol the same way I get $\Delta$
, but I am not very experienced with defining new symbols…

I made one leg a bit thicker, in the manner of
\Delta
.Works across math styles.
Merely changing the instances of
{30}
and{-30}
to{40}
and{-40}
will change the aspect, whilescalerel
will take care of the scaling automatically:
