[texhax] Parts per thousand with the wasysym package

[Sam Albers]

Apologies, I figured this out on my own. Sorry for the bother. I think that
this will work as i found out how the wasysym package creates the
symbol and simply copied that.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass[12pt, pdftex]{article}

\def\wasyfamily{\fontencoding{U}\fontfamily{wasy}\selectfont}
\def\permil     {\mbox{\wasyfamily\char104}}
%\usepackage{wasysym}

\begin{document}

This is the symbol I would like to use: \permil

This is a poor attempted to reproduce it: $\%_{\mathit{\circ}}$

\end{document}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
