Math & Science ⇒ How to draw a Plimsoll??

[rexkykwok]

Just wondering how I could draw a plimsoll, as in the standard state sign (a "O" with a "-" crossing in the centre) used in chemistry, in a latex environment?

You can compose it on your own from different (math) characters.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\newcommand*{\plimsoll}{{\ensuremath{-\kern-4pt{\ominus}\kern-4pt-}}}

\begin{document}
  Text \plimsoll\ Text
\end{document}

Best regards and welcome to the board
