On this page, draw whatever funky TeX symbol you desire with your cursor. This thing will give you a best guess what the symbol is. http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html On Wed, Jun 11, 2014 at 3:22 PM, Eugene Salamin via math-fun < math-fun@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:
If you find somewhere a usage of some obscure character that you want, copy and paste it into your text. Another trick is to code the character in HTML, e.g. "&foobar;". Save the HTML as a .html file, open the file with a browser, and then copy and paste.

Thanks for the links!
The specific idiom we were trying to symbolize succinctly was "For all X there exists a Y such that..."
Regarding funny symbols, although right now I'm hoping for an easy win, for the future I'll keep TikZ in mind (I've also long wanted an "elongated P" sign for "product integral")
Thanks! --MLB
