Upsilon with hook symbol

Question

I'm looking for symbol which looks like this:

I also found ϒ in UTF, but I'm not able to compile file and I don't find \Upupsilon satisfying. Thanks in advance.

If you compile with an unicode aware engine, you can directly use the symbols (as long as your font has it) — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Dec 12 '23 at 15:48
Please include a picture of the symbol in your question. Questions on stackexchange should be self-sustained so they remain useful even if the link stops working. — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Dec 12 '23 at 15:49

So the easier is certainly to simply use lualatex (that provides UTF-8 support out of the box) and any font you like. To discover the font used in your case, I used firefox, selected the character, right click, inspect, and on the right panel you can see the name of the font that you use (you might need to click on the arrow to enable it):

Then, just do:

\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage[greek]{babel}
\setmainfont[Ligatures=TeX]{Tinos Regular}
\begin{document}
Hey α ϒ.
\end{document}

and compile with lualatex yourfile.tex:

Hi! Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately, I have to use pdflatex on overleaf. What do I have to change in your code to make that work under these conditions? – SerGor Dec 12 '23 at 17:31
Technically, you can use lualatex on overleaf as well (just change it in the options in Menu > Compiler). If you really want pdflatex… good question, maybe try to look into https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/ if you can find a font that fits your needs, otherwise you can see if you can load the font using pdfmapline as explained in https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Questions/I_have_a_custom_font_I%27d_like_to_load_to_my_document._How_can_I_do_this%3F , but I don't know how easy it would be since it is an utf-8 symbol. – tobiasBora Dec 12 '23 at 19:29

Otherwise, a dirty solution could be to manually extract the path and use tikz as described in https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/64751/116348 … – tobiasBora Dec 12 '23 at 19:29

Go to a terminal window and type

albatross -s -t U+03D2

then hit return. On my machine I get

The list is much longer, but it goes beyond the size allowed for answers.

Now you can choose the font you like most for use with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX.
