Scaling of the thickness fixed.

@ThomasArildsen The missing scaling of the thickness is due to a bug, I had forgotten to add the math style for the vertical bar that is used for the branches of the symbols. Thanks for noticing, it is now fixed in the answer. The length of the branches scales is taken from the plus sign and scales the exact same way. The height of \upY is the same as the height of +.

One thing, though: looking at your three-size example, the symbol seems to scale bit odd with the font. The up-/down-y seems to scale less down than the letters. Furthermore, the line thinkness does not seem to scale, so the symbol looks more "bold" for smaller font sizes. | |

Exteneded center analysis

| Sep 14, 2014 at 10:04 | comment | added | Manuel | True, after compiling it myself it looks good. So it's your viewer :) I said that just looking to the first line of your image, it seems to have som sort of distorsion in the center. Nevermind. | |

The center is mathematical correct, the same way as the symbols of MnSymbol. The middle intersection point is exactly located at the mathematical axis, the same height in both cases. If the symbols are put over each other, the result is a regular six-star, see updated answer.

Putting the symbols on top of each other.

The last one looks better, but still, as the first two (\textstyle and \scriptstyle), it seems that the center of \rotatebox is not perfect, so the three lines form a weird thing at the center where they are toghether. I don't know how to explain, just looking closely to the center of \upY and \downY shows what I mean.
