I'd like to use the symbol varangle from the wasy physics symbol set. In my file I've got

\usesymbols[was] \showsymbolset[wasy physics]

$\symbol[varangle]$

In the PDF that's generated, I see the symbols in the wasy physics symbol set just fine, but following the symbol set table, I just see an OE ligature glyph. What might be going on?

You should not use it in math mode. Or if you want to use it in math mode surround it with \text{...}

And is there any way I can use

\varangle

rather than

\symbol[varangle]

The easiest way is to \def\varangle{\text{\symbol[varangle]}} A more robust method may be \definemathcommand [varangle] [\text{\symbol[varangle]}] Aditya
