I have a small nitpicking query
I have:
$S\sqsubset\mathbf{P}$
and noticed that the \sqsubset symbol is a bit too low (off centered) for my liking. Is it possible to shift it up slightly?

You can redefine \sqsubset to take an optional argument that would raise it:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsfonts}% http://ctan.org/pkg/amsfonts
\let\oldsqsubset\sqsubset
\renewcommand{\sqsubset}[1][0pt]{%
\mathrel{\raisebox{#1}{$\oldsqsubset$}}%
}
\begin{document}
$S\sqsubset\mathbf{P} \quad S\sqsubset[5pt]\mathbf{P} \quad S\sqsubset[1pt]\mathbf{P}$
\end{document}
The updated \sqsubset is set as a binary relation \mathrel. Note that if you want to use square brackets after \sqsubset, you need to surround it with braces. The new usage is \sqsubset[<len>] where <len> is any recognized (La)TeX length.

1@MobiusPizza: Note that you can also use a negative
<len>to lower the symbol. – Werner Mar 7 '12 at 2:33 -
What if you want the symbol to be raised proportionally in subscripts and subsubscripts too? The
\raisebox'resets' to the normal size and I cannot figure out how to make it preserve the current size. – user21820 Feb 20 at 8:21 -
Oh I found that we can save the current style, so that solves my question. – user21820 Feb 20 at 13:31
\sqsubsetis designed to be so low for the case that you have descenders as in the lettery. But I see why you want to raise it when there are no descenders as inSandP. – Hendrik Vogt Jun 13 '12 at 14:51
