Unicode greek letter or new greek letter

Question

I need chi letter as the one to the right:

My issue is that when I either use $\chi$ or \textgreek{q} I don't get what I wish to. I would also be happy with U+03C7 unicode character, but I don't want to use XeTeX but LaTeX instead. I've read this post but I couldn't solve my problem with this...

When you say "LaTeX", do you mean latex or pdflatex? If the latter, then my answer here, http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/145926/upright-greek-font-fitting-to-computer-modern/230220#230220, may be of some use (though you just made me realize I didn't demonstrate the technique on chi). Using that approach, with mathptmx, I find that \unslant[-.15]\chi gives a good rendition of your letter. — Steven B. Segletes, Nov 12 '15 at 20:26
what document class and what fonts are you using? (a useful answer may depend on the identity of both.) — barbara beeton, Nov 12 '15 at 20:30

That's the chi in the Symbol Adobe font.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\newcommand{\upchi}{\text{\usefont{U}{psy}{m}{n}\symbol{'143}}}

\begin{document}

X\upchi

$\upchi+X_{\upchi}$

\end{document}
