How can I place a "slash" -- / -- through a letter in this way? [duplicate]

Question

I am writing a paper expanding on the results of a previous paper, and I want to preserve their terminology, at one point they use this symbol:

I have no idea how they made it nor how to reproduce it, when I try to copy it I get "p/" so I imagine that maybe they superimposed both symbols.

Thanks.

I forgot to mention, I know how to add the T and the ||, the bar in the middle is what is giving me trouble — Fernando Franco Félix, Feb 20, 2018 at 22:04
Maybe \cancel{p} from the cancel package suits your needs (see: tex.stackexchange.com/q/11897/134144)? — leandriis, Feb 20, 2018 at 22:13
Someone edited the title and added the picture, which is great, the title is better and the picture helped, but... who takes the time to do these things? — Fernando Franco Félix, Feb 20, 2018 at 22:25

This is another solution:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{cancel}

\begin{document}
    $\cancel{p}$
\end{document}

It appears that if I use that, and type \cancel{p} in between \begin{align*} ... \end{align*}, then I get an undefined control sequence?

Never mind; that was my own separate error lol

For the p with the slash symbol, I'd write

${p\mkern-7.5mu/}$

For the full, three-part symbol, I'd write

${p\mkern-7.5mu/}\mkern-1.8mu\raisebox{-0.35ex}{\scriptsize T}^{\parallel}$

\documentclass[border=1pt]{standalone}
\begin{document}
${p\mkern-7.5mu/}\mkern-1.8mu\raisebox{-0.35ex}{\scriptsize T}^{\parallel}$
\end{document}
