inverted iota
Hi all. I'm having trouble figuring out how to make the definite description symbol (which is an inverted Greek iota). There seem to be two ways to do this, both of which fail for me. One is to use graphicx package and the rotatebox command. But this does not seem to work inside math equations (at least I don't see how to make it work). The other - supposedly - is to use the phonetic package. I found such a thing but really don't know how to properly install it ... Any help would be appreciated, TIA, -- William Seager University of Toronto Scarborough www.utsc.utoronto.ca/~seager

Hi all. I'm having trouble figuring out how to make
the definite description symbol (which is an
inverted Greek iota). There seem to be two ways to
do this, both of which fail for me.
One is to use graphicx package and the rotatebox
command. But this does not seem to work inside
math equations (at least I don't see how to make it
work).
The other - supposedly - is to use the phonetic package.
I found such a thing but really don't know how to
properly install it ...
Any help would be appreciated, TIA,
How to install the phonetic package depends to some extent on what LaTeX
distribution you're using (you didn't specify).
How to use it in LyX is straightforward: \usepackage{phonetic} in the
preamble and \textit{\riota} in a math inset or in ERT in the text body.

Hi all. I'm having trouble figuring out how to make the "definite description" symbol (which is an inverted Greek iota). There seem to be two ways to do this, both of which fail for me.
