R with a circle

Post by ivana »

Hello,

how can I write the symbol that should look like \mathbb{R} with a circle above it? I don't want \mathbb{R}^\circ, it should be more like \AA.

Thanks a lot...

Hi Ivana,

welcome to the board!
You could try

Code: Select all

\mathop{\mathbb{R}}\limits^\circ
or

Code: Select all

\overset{\circ}{\mathbb{R}}

Hello,

it works, but it doesn't look good. When you use it in the text, the lines with this symbol are larger...

Hi Ivana,

try this macro, I've just made some adjustments as you can see:

Code: Select all

\newcommand*\Rcirc{\ensuremath{\smash{\overset{\circ}
{\smash{\mathbb{R}}\rule{0pt}{1.2ex}}\vphantom{\mathbb{R}}}}}
