Adding to ```\smallsetminus```

Question

I am looking to produce a symbol \Smallsetminus which looks like \smallsetminus, but has two lines instead of one. It should look similar to \newcommand{\Minus}{\rotatebox[]{-45}{$=$}}, but the thickness of each individual line will ideally look the same as the thickness of the singular line appearing in \smallsetminus.

Thank you!

Like this?

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\newcommand{\Smallsetminus}{\mathrel{\smallsetminus\mkern-9mu\smallsetminus}}
\begin{document}
$AB\Smallsetminus CD$ $ab\Smallsetminus cd$
\end{document}

Why \mathrel? Shouldn’t it be \mathbin? – egreg Jan 14 '23 at 09:56

@egreg Yes. That depends on the actual usage of \Smallsetminus. – Stephen Jan 14 '23 at 10:28
@Stephen That is almost exactly what I am looking for. Is it possible to make the lines start and end in the same spot? (Just like the rotated equals command.) – Jackson Bodoviwitz Jan 14 '23 at 16:56
Perhaps \smallsetminus\mkern-12mu\raisebox{.3ex}{$\smallsetminus$} is what OP wants? Of course this will need adjustments for script sizes e.g. with mathchoice. – Sandy G Jan 14 '23 at 17:16
@SandyG Perfect. Thank you! – Jackson Bodoviwitz Jan 14 '23 at 21:53
