I'd like to use a symbol to denote the inside of a triangle inside mathematical formulas in an answer I'm writing for Mathematics Stack Exchange.
A natural candidate is a triangle with a dot inside it: ◬. How can I typeset this symbol in MathJax?
It's available in Unicode at code point U+25EC, however when I use the unicode symbol inside a MathJax formula, the symbol's size is considerably smaller than the normal symbol for a triangle whose command is \triangle
: $\unicode{x25ec}$
typesets as $\unicode{x25ec}$ whereas $\triangle$
typesets as $\triangle$. I'd like the dotted triangle to have the same size as the symbol that is typeset by the command \triangle
.
The dotted triangle symbol is also available as the command \trianglecdot
of the LaTeX package stix
, but I don't know how to import this package to a Mathematics Stack Exchange answer, and even if I could, it would likely simply resolve to the above-mentioned unicode symbol.
I'm also open to suggestions of alternative symbols.
\mathring A
$\mathring A$ is used to denote the topological interior of a set $A$, so why not\mathring\triangle
$\mathring\triangle$? $\endgroup$
