I'm searching for a math symbol that shows saturation. It looks like a slash with a horizontal line at each end.
I found a question about drawing it in a node: Saturation block



But I want to use it as a subscript in math mode.

          I'm not sure if this is what you want, but you can design your own symbol without tikz. Use mathchoice to allow for use as a subscript or subsubscript.



          enter image description here



          Here is the code:



          documentclass{article}
          usepackage{calc} % needed to subtract from hght

          newlength{wdth}
          newlength{hght}
          newlength{dpth}

          newcommand{sat}{mathchoice%
          {settowidth{wdth}{/}settoheight{hght}{/}settodepth{dpth}{/}%
          rule[-dpth]{.25em}{.09ex}hspace{-.13wdth}/%
          hspace{-.15wdth}rule[hght-.09ex]{.25em}{.09ex}}
          {settowidth{wdth}{/}settoheight{hght}{/}settodepth{dpth}{/}%
          rule[-dpth]{.25em}{.09ex}hspace{-.15wdth}/%
          hspace{-.15wdth}rule[hght-.09ex]{.25em}{.09ex}}
          {settowidth{wdth}{$scriptstyle /$}settoheight{hght}{$scriptstyle /$}settodepth{dpth}{$scriptstyle /$}%
          rule[-dpth]{.2em}{.08ex}hspace{-.17wdth}scriptstyle /%
          hspace{-.17wdth}rule[hght-.08ex]{.2em}{.08ex}}
          {settowidth{wdth}{$scriptstyle /$}settoheight{hght}{$scriptscriptstyle /$}settodepth{dpth}{$scriptscriptstyle /$}%
          rule[-dpth]{.15em}{.07ex}hspace{-.19wdth}scriptscriptstyle /%
          hspace{-.19wdth}rule[hght-.07ex]{.15em}{.07ex}}
          }

          begin{document}

          $Asat B_{Asat B_{Asat B}}$

          end{document}


          If you want longer or shorter tails you can adjust the lengths in the rule parameters. The .25em (or .2em for subscript, .18em for subsubscript) controls the length.

          First create a standalone version of your icon, here in saturation.tex:



          documentclass[border=0mm]{standalone}
          usepackage{tikz}

          usetikzlibrary{positioning}

          makeatletter

          pgfdeclareshape{record}{
          inheritsavedanchors[from={rectangle}]
          inheritbackgroundpath[from={rectangle}]
          inheritanchorborder[from={rectangle}]
          foreach x in {center,north east,north west,north,south,south east,south west}{
          inheritanchor[from={rectangle}]{x}
          }
          foregroundpath{
          pgfpointdiff{northeast}{southwest}
          pgf@xa=pgf@x pgf@ya=pgf@y
          northeast
          pgfpathmoveto{pgfpoint{0}{0.33pgf@ya}}
          pgfpathlineto{pgfpoint{0}{-0.33pgf@ya}}
          pgfpathmoveto{pgfpoint{0.33pgf@xa}{0}}
          pgfpathlineto{pgfpoint{-0.33pgf@xa}{0}}
          pgfpathmoveto{pgfpointadd{southwest}{pgfpoint{-0.33pgf@xa}{-0.6pgf@ya}}}
          pgfpathlineto{pgfpointadd{southwest}{pgfpoint{-0.5pgf@xa}{-0.6pgf@ya}}}
          pgfpathlineto{pgfpointadd{northeast}{pgfpoint{-0.5pgf@xa}{-0.6pgf@ya}}}
          pgfpathlineto{pgfpointadd{northeast}{pgfpoint{-0.33pgf@xa}{-0.6pgf@ya}}}
          }
          }
          makeatother

          begin{document}
          begin{tikzpicture}

          node[record,minimum size=1cm,fill=blue!30,draw] (a) {};
          end{tikzpicture}
          end{document}


          enter image description here



          Then, use this code to include it as the height of the local value of 1ex, with a little horizontal gap on each side. This code will adjust to the current font size (so no problem if you go Huge) as well as to the current math style (scriptstyle and scriptscriptstyle):



          documentclass{article}
          usepackage{scalerel,graphicx}
          newcommandsat{ThisStyle{%
          kern.5LMptincludegraphics[height=1LMex]{saturation}kern.5LMpt}}
          begin{document}
          centering
          Here is sat.
          In math, $A_{sat}$
          [
          A_{sat_{sat}}
          ]
          end{document}


          enter image description here



          Obviously, you can change the size by adjusting 1LMex to something different. You can adjust the gap by adjusting the .5LMpt to something different, and you can change the color and line thickness in the original tikz code.



          For example, by changing the color at saturation.tex to gray!5 and adding a thick specification to the draw, one gets this:



          enter image description here



          That carries over directly into the main document, where I have changed the height specification to 1.3LMex, to arrive at:



          enter image description here





          SUPPLEMENT



          To help the OP with a follow up request to eliminate the border and axes, replace saturation.tex with this:



          documentclass[border=0mm]{standalone}
          usepackage{tikz}
          begin{document}
          begin{tikzpicture}
          coordinate (A) at (-.5,-.4);
          coordinate (B) at (-.3,-.4);
          coordinate (C) at (+.3,+.4);
          coordinate (D) at (+.5,+.4);
          draw [black, thick] (A)--(B)--(C)--(D);
          end{tikzpicture}
          end{document}


          enter image description here



          Then, with the document code definition that



          newcommandsat{ThisStyle{%
          kern.5LMptincludegraphics[height=1.3LMex]{saturation}kern.5LMpt}}


          we arrive at



          documentclass{article}
          usepackage{scalerel,graphicx}
          newcommandsat{ThisStyle{%
          kern.5LMptincludegraphics[height=1.3LMex]{saturation}kern.5LMpt}}
          begin{document}
          centering
          Here is sat.
          In math, $A_{sat}$
          [
          A_{sat_{sat}}
          ]
          Huge
          [
          A_{sat_{sat}}
          ]
          end{document}

          • Thank you for your answer, that is awesome. This is almost what I was looking for, except that I don't need the frame and the axes. Only the diagonal line with the two horizontal lines. I don't have much experience with tikz, what do I need to change for that? Is there really no math symbol for that?

          The command saturation@linethickess is an old trick of mine, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/412159/4427

          I chose to make the symbol the same vertical size as |; the width is 60% of the height and the three parts have equal width. Feel free to change the proportions. You can get it wider with

            If you want longer or shorter tails you can adjust the lengths in the rule parameters. The .25em (or .2em for subscript, .18em for subsubscript) controls the length.

            I'm not sure if this is what you want, but you can design your own symbol without tikz. Use mathchoice to allow for use as a subscript or subsubscript.



            enter image description here



            Here is the code:



            documentclass{article}
            usepackage{calc} % needed to subtract from hght

            newlength{wdth}
            newlength{hght}
            newlength{dpth}

            newcommand{sat}{mathchoice%
            {settowidth{wdth}{/}settoheight{hght}{/}settodepth{dpth}{/}%
            rule[-dpth]{.25em}{.09ex}hspace{-.13wdth}/%
            hspace{-.15wdth}rule[hght-.09ex]{.25em}{.09ex}}
            {settowidth{wdth}{/}settoheight{hght}{/}settodepth{dpth}{/}%
            rule[-dpth]{.25em}{.09ex}hspace{-.15wdth}/%
            hspace{-.15wdth}rule[hght-.09ex]{.25em}{.09ex}}
            {settowidth{wdth}{$scriptstyle /$}settoheight{hght}{$scriptstyle /$}settodepth{dpth}{$scriptstyle /$}%
            rule[-dpth]{.2em}{.08ex}hspace{-.17wdth}scriptstyle /%
            hspace{-.17wdth}rule[hght-.08ex]{.2em}{.08ex}}
            {settowidth{wdth}{$scriptstyle /$}settoheight{hght}{$scriptscriptstyle /$}settodepth{dpth}{$scriptscriptstyle /$}%
            rule[-dpth]{.15em}{.07ex}hspace{-.19wdth}scriptscriptstyle /%
            hspace{-.19wdth}rule[hght-.07ex]{.15em}{.07ex}}
            }

            begin{document}

            $Asat B_{Asat B_{Asat B}}$

            First create a standalone version of your icon, here in saturation.tex:



            documentclass[border=0mm]{standalone}
            usepackage{tikz}

            usetikzlibrary{positioning}

            makeatletter

            pgfdeclareshape{record}{

            inheritanchorborder[from={rectangle}]
            foreach x in {center,north east,north west,north,south,south east,south west}{
            inheritanchor[from={rectangle}]{x}
            }
            foregroundpath{
            pgfpointdiff{northeast}{southwest}
            pgf@xa=pgf@x pgf@ya=pgf@y
            northeast
            pgfpathmoveto{pgfpoint{0}{0.33pgf@ya}}
            pgfpathlineto{pgfpoint{0}{-0.33pgf@ya}}
            pgfpathmoveto{pgfpoint{0.33pgf@xa}{0}}
            pgfpathlineto{pgfpoint{-0.33pgf@xa}{0}}
            pgfpathmoveto{pgfpointadd{southwest}{pgfpoint{-0.33pgf@xa}{-0.6pgf@ya}}}
            pgfpathlineto{pgfpointadd{southwest}{pgfpoint{-0.5pgf@xa}{-0.6pgf@ya}}}
            pgfpathlineto{pgfpointadd{northeast}{pgfpoint{-0.5pgf@xa}{-0.6pgf@ya}}}
            pgfpathlineto{pgfpointadd{northeast}{pgfpoint{-0.33pgf@xa}{-0.6pgf@ya}}}
            }
            }
            makeatother

            begin{document}
            begin{tikzpicture}

            node[record,minimum size=1cm,fill=blue!30,draw] (a) {};
            end{tikzpicture}
            end{document}


            enter image description here



            Then, use this code to include it as the height of the local value of 1ex, with a little horizontal gap on each side. This code will adjust to the current font size (so no problem if you go Huge) as well as to the current math style (scriptstyle and scriptscriptstyle):



            documentclass{article}
            usepackage{scalerel,graphicx}
            newcommandsat{ThisStyle{%
            kern.5LMptincludegraphics[height=1LMex]{saturation}kern.5LMpt}}
            begin{document}
            centering
            Here is sat.
            In math, $A_{sat}$
            [
            A_{sat_{sat}}
            ]
            end{document}


            enter image description here



            Obviously, you can change the size by adjusting 1LMex to something different. You can adjust the gap by adjusting the .5LMpt to something different, and you can change the color and line thickness in the original tikz code.



            For example, by changing the color at saturation.tex to gray!5 and adding a thick specification to the draw, one gets this:



            enter image description here



            That carries over directly into the main document, where I have changed the height specification to 1.3LMex, to arrive at:



            enter image description here





            SUPPLEMENT



            To help the OP with a follow up request to eliminate the border and axes, replace saturation.tex with this:



            documentclass[border=0mm]{standalone}
            usepackage{tikz}
            begin{document}
            begin{tikzpicture}

            end{tikzpicture}
            end{document}


            enter image description here



            Then, with the document code definition that



            newcommandsat{ThisStyle{%

            • Thank you for your answer, that is awesome. This is almost what I was looking for, except that I don't need the frame and the axes. Only the diagonal line with the two horizontal lines. I don't have much experience with tikz, what do I need to change for that? Is there really no math symbol for that?

            First create a standalone version of your icon, here in saturation.tex:



            documentclass[border=0mm]{standalone}
            usepackage{tikz}

            usetikzlibrary{positioning}

            makeatletter

            pgfdeclareshape{record}{
            inheritsavedanchors[from={rectangle}]
            inheritbackgroundpath[from={rectangle}]
            inheritanchorborder[from={rectangle}]
            foreach x in {center,north east,north west,north,south,south east,south west}{
            inheritanchor[from={rectangle}]{x}
            }
            foregroundpath{
            pgfpointdiff{northeast}{southwest}
            pgf@xa=pgf@x pgf@ya=pgf@y
            northeast
            pgfpathmoveto{pgfpoint{0}{0.33pgf@ya}}
            pgfpathlineto{pgfpoint{0}{-0.33pgf@ya}}
            pgfpathmoveto{pgfpoint{0.33pgf@xa}{0}}
            pgfpathlineto{pgfpoint{-0.33pgf@xa}{0}}
            pgfpathmoveto{pgfpointadd{southwest}{pgfpoint{-0.33pgf@xa}{-0.6pgf@ya}}}
            pgfpathlineto{pgfpointadd{southwest}{pgfpoint{-0.5pgf@xa}{-0.6pgf@ya}}}
            pgfpathlineto{pgfpointadd{northeast}{pgfpoint{-0.5pgf@xa}{-0.6pgf@ya}}}
            pgfpathlineto{pgfpointadd{northeast}{pgfpoint{-0.33pgf@xa}{-0.6pgf@ya}}}
            }
            }
            makeatother

            begin{document}
            begin{tikzpicture}

            node[record,minimum size=1cm,fill=blue!30,draw] (a) {};
            end{tikzpicture}
            end{document}


            enter image description here



            Then, use this code to include it as the height of the local value of 1ex, with a little horizontal gap on each side. This code will adjust to the current font size (so no problem if you go Huge) as well as to the current math style (scriptstyle and scriptscriptstyle):



            documentclass{article}
            usepackage{scalerel,graphicx}
            newcommandsat{ThisStyle{%
            kern.5LMptincludegraphics[height=1LMex]{saturation}kern.5LMpt}}
            begin{document}
            centering
            Here is sat.
            In math, $A_{sat}$
            [
            A_{sat_{sat}}
            ]
            end{document}


            enter image description here



            Obviously, you can change the size by adjusting 1LMex to something different. You can adjust the gap by adjusting the .5LMpt to something different, and you can change the color and line thickness in the original tikz code.



            For example, by changing the color at saturation.tex to gray!5 and adding a thick specification to the draw, one gets this:



            enter image description here



            That carries over directly into the main document, where I have changed the height specification to 1.3LMex, to arrive at:



            enter image description here

            • Thank you for your answer, that is awesome. This is almost what I was looking for, except that I don't need the frame and the axes. Only the diagonal line with the two horizontal lines. I don't have much experience with tikz, what do I need to change for that? Is there really no math symbol for that?

                The command saturation@linethickess is an old trick of mine, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/412159/4427



                enter image description here



                I chose to make the symbol the same vertical size as |; the width is 60% of the height and the three parts have equal width. Feel free to change the proportions. You can get it wider with



                newcommand{satur@tion}[2]{%
                vcenter{hbox{%
                sboxz@{$m@th#1|$}%
                setlength{unitlength}{dimexprhtz@+dpz@}%
                saturation@linethickness{#1}%
                begin{picture}(0.8,1)
                roundcap
                polyline(0,0)(0.2,0)(0.6,1)(0.8,1)
