# Crossing a symbol like p, similar to HBAR

Is it possible in Mathematica to cross a symbol like p, similar to h-bar, used to denote the Planck constant?

Picture in case of font problems:

In case of h, we have HBAR, inputted as ESC-hb-ESC but there is no similar ESC-pbar-ESC defined.

This is a re-phrasing of a TeX question that has a solution in TeX:

Thank you for all suggestions.

• This does not exactly answer your question, but that glyph already exists. Try FromCharacterCode[1412]. – MarcoB May 7 '18 at 21:20
• or perhaps FromCharacterCode[42833]? – Carl Woll May 7 '18 at 21:22
• @CarlWoll I found the reference, but the code evaluates to a boxed question mark on my system (MMA 11.2, Win7-64). Is that an encoding / OS / configuration issue? – MarcoB May 7 '18 at 21:34
• @MarcoB: indeed, it does not answer the question. I am looking for a general way to cross a symbol by a bar. Turns out I actually need "b-bar" not "p-bar". I just didn't have the graphics to illustrate a "b-bar". – Ohcolowisc May 8 '18 at 4:07
• @Ohcolowisc Like this glyph? – MarcoB May 8 '18 at 4:47
