Can't find the latex code for the ⍎ (down tack jot) symbol
I'm new to LaTeX and I don't know how to use the CTAN package for typing APL symbols. So far I use the wasysym
package but symbols like the ⍎ (down tack jot) are not included.
I have downloaded the apl
CTAN package which is a directory of various files but I can't find instructions on how to use it in my LaTeX editor (TeXworks).
Please can you tell me how to use this package?

which tex distro do you have? miktex or texlive? If you have miktex, better install it with the miktex console because installing font things manually is really tricky.

Your editor does not matter. The tex distribution would be interesting to know. miktex? telive? mactex? something exotic? Does any of these names ring a bell?

no, this is an engine. I would need to know the name of the distribution that provides pdflatex for you. Can you search your computer formiktex
,telive
andmactex
and see if any of this brings up some hits?

As you just used the Unicode symbol ⍎, you’re aware of it. You can just use that. Load the fontspec
package, compile in LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX, and you can paste it into your source code. ^^^^234E
also works, as does char{"234e}
, or you can define a newcommand
.
If your main font doesn’t contain that glyph, you can define the command in text mode like so:
newfontfamilysymbolfont{DejaVu Sans}[Scale=MatchLowercase]
newcommanddtjot{{symbolfont ⍎}}
In math mode, you would load unicode-math
and use the range=
option of setmathfont
if the main math font you want to use does not cover it. You could also put the text-mode command inside a mbox
.
