Unknown symbol - how to create it with Latex

Question

I'm searching for a way to create the attached character in LaTeX. It's not the one that is created with \mathbb{R}as this creates double strokes for each line and not just the leading one.

The image is taken from a pdf-file, which was created with MiKTeX, but I do not have access to the source. When I copy it to Word I can only get a capital R, without double strokes.

Thank you very much.

R with double vertical stroke

just for the record, there is no difference in meaning (that i am aware or) between the different styles of double-stroked (blackboard bold) letters. the preference for a particular style is subjective. if your paper is submitted for publication, the publisher may have a preferred "house style". — barbara beeton, May 25 '15 at 17:45

I used Detexify to find the answer.

\usepackage{dsfont}
\mathds{R}

Use this in math mode.

@JoelReyesNoche We had both edited it at the same time. I have taken the freedom to add the image. – Heiko Oberdiek May 25 '15 at 04:53
