Combination of a Smile and a Frown ....

[Math Amateur]

In Bloch: The Real Numbers and Real Analysis we find, in the discussion on the construction of the rational numbers, a symbol for an equivalence relation that looks like a combination of a \smile and a \frown ... the symbol appears in Definition 1.5.1 and Lemma 1.5.2 below ... View attachment 7026Can anyone tell me the Latex code to form this symbol ...?

We have it as a symbol in our Quick $\LaTeX$ element, in the Algebra section, with the toolltip "Asymptotic To"...the code is:

\asymp

which produces:

$$\asymp$$

Thanks Mark ...

Must go to the Linear and Abstract Algebra forum and get the guide ... the guide I have been using is the one from MHF ...

For future reference, there's also Detexify LaTeX handwritten symbol recognition

I'm thinking it would be cool to put a button somewhere in our editor that opens that page in a popup window. (Yes)
