- This sounds like a job for MS Word 3 or later (or MS Write), which permits
- overstrikes, superscripts, subscripts and so forth in its Formula capability;
- the
- Symbol font has a leftward arrow in character Option-Shift-u and a rightward
- arrow in character Option-Shift-'
- perhaps you want o(*,A) where the arrows have been subscripted and
- superscripted manually; or perhaps o(sdo3(*),s(A)) where the subscript and
- supersc are nested within the overstrike; or maybe just s(*,A) suits you.
