Dear (La)TeX friends.
I cannot find the LaTeX command for the symbol in the attached picture. I have looked at tables 85--91 in the Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List without success. Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance!

I think you should do some basic reading because this is listed in every documentation about LaTeX basics.
As alternative you can try Detexify to find out a symbol.

Re: Symbol
A lot of fonts also prove a single command \nsubset -- e.g., the txfonts, pxfonts, kpfonts, MnSymbol, mathabx, etc., packages all define this.
You could also use the Unicode symbol ⊄ with \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc} in regular latex/pdflatex, or just on its own with XeLaTeX (the unicode-math package helps to give it the right spacing though.)

Is listed there, too (p. 48, between tables 3.4 and 3.5).svend_tveskaeg wrote:[...] I normally ``only'' use daleif's Danish LaTeX manual. [...]
