I'm trying to recreate the equation attached, but can't find the symbol that looks like a large 'J'. I've looked through the ams-math symbol manual/guide and the comprehensive latex symbol list but can't find it. I even tried drawing it using this website, but nothing

Can anybody help?
Thanks.

Can't find this symbol
Never saw the moment of inertia represented like this. I only know a usual math mode »J« in this context. What you want is a calligraphic capital letter.

Re: Can't find this symbol
Thanks localghost. I was getting tired of looking through pages and pages of symbols/fonts.
Personally, I prefer the more ornate $\Im$, but my colleague wants it written like the attached equation.
Thanks again.
