# lower equal with dot

Is there a way to write the symbol "lower or equal" with a dot directly after it? Just like \lessdot but with the horizontal line added. Would be awesome if someone can tell me. I didn't find it after a long search.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amssymb,stackengine}
\newcommand\ledot{\mathrel{\ensurestackMath{%
\stackengine{-.5ex}{\lessdot}{-}{U}{c}{F}{F}{S}}}}
\begin{document}
$a\ledot b$
\end{document}


If you need it across mathstyles:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amssymb,stackengine,scalerel}
\newcommand\ledot{\mathrel{\ThisStyle{\ensurestackMath{%
\stackengine{-.5\LMex}{\SavedStyle\lessdot}{\SavedStyle-}{U}{c}{F}{F}{S}}}}}
\begin{document}
$a\ledot b$

$\scriptstyle a\ledot b$

$\scriptscriptstyle a\ledot b$
\end{document}


Comments from the OP indicate a desire to add a subscript to the symbol. The above formulations have too much depth to make that work well directly, so here is an alternative in which the underset is \smashed and the underset depth is adjusted a bit:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amssymb,stackengine,scalerel}
\newcommand\ledot{\mathrel{\ThisStyle{\ensurestackMath{%
\stackengine{.8\LMex}{\SavedStyle\lessdot}{\smash{\SavedStyle-}}%
{U}{c}{F}{F}{S}}}}}
\begin{document}
$a\ledot_{\!P} b$

$\scriptstyle a\ledot_{\!P} b$

$\scriptscriptstyle a\ledot_{\!P} b$
\end{document}


• Thank you very much! I didn't think anyone could actually tell me how you get this symbol. – Kegorus Mar 30 at 12:25
• @Kegorus you are welcome. Note you can change the value of -.5\LMex to adjust the amount of underset between < and -, if you prefer a narrower or wider gap. – Steven B. Segletes Mar 30 at 12:27
• This made it even better, thanks! And one more thing, would it be possible to add a "P" (for poset P) as index? Like \Ieq_P with dot? – Kegorus Mar 30 at 12:31
• @Kegorus Do you mean for the P to be below the symbol, or to the lower right? Also, what is to prevent you from doing exactly what you suggest, namely \ledot_P? – Steven B. Segletes Mar 30 at 12:36
• That's great now, thank you very much! – Kegorus Mar 30 at 13:35

There is also a specific symbol \leqslantdot with MnSymbol package, or fdsymbol.

Edit: We observe that the \leqslantdot with MnSymbol not changes the CM fonts.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{MnSymbol}
\begin{document}
$f(a,b)\leqslantdot g(b,a)$
\end{document}


While if you use fdsymbol, you have not an exact dot but it is similar to the square with a zoom and there is a change of the font of the rounded brackets (for example).

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{fdsymbol}
\begin{document}
$f(a,b)\leqslantdot g(b,a)$
\end{document}


• Thank you too! I will use the horizontal line version though. – Kegorus Mar 30 at 12:26
• @Kegorus No problem :-) the choice is yours :-) – Sebastiano Mar 30 at 12:32
• I'm suddenly reminded of the pigpen cipher. – Kaz Mar 31 at 3:58
• @Kaz What is? I have not understood your comment. – Sebastiano Mar 31 at 23:02
