strecthed \wedge

Question

I was wondering how to write that symbol in latex? the \wedge does not look fine since it looks too acute.

In what context do you want it? Just like a wedge but wider? Or as an accent? — mickep, May 07 '22 at 19:33
@mickep, I want to use it as an index for function, i.e. $f_{\wedge}$ — RFZ, May 07 '22 at 19:38

Not sure if this does what you want, but you could use \scalebox to scale \wedge vertically but not horizontally. Of course you can change the scale factors however you want. This is assuming you're only going to use the symbol as a subscript. If you plan on using the symbol in other ways, I suggest you take a look at a more general solution using mathchoice or mathpalette.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\newcommand{\newwedge}{\scalebox{1}[0.5]{$\scriptstyle\wedge$}}
\begin{document}
$f_{\newwedge}$ vs. $f_{\wedge}$
\end{document}

Great! The first symbol this is what I wanted! – RFZ May 07 '22 at 21:05 — RFZ, May 07 '22 at 21:05
