Dec 16, 2012 at 19:27 comment added Andrew Swann OK that is new information. If you retain the unsaved tikz version, then you can use em as units instead of pt. These following the scaling of the font. For the savedbox version, you could use the graphicx package and a scalebox command, appropriately adapted.
Dec 16, 2012 at 19:18 comment added Manuel Mmm, sorry, but it's not perfect. I imagined that those saveboxes should work as I have in mind (but they don't, apart that you didn't know what I had in mind because I didn't explained well). My idea, when I say save to a glyph is that it scales with the font: in this case, if you write \Large at the beginning of the document, the \mysetminus doesn't scale and look small. Is possible to make it scale good?
Dec 16, 2012 at 18:29 comment added Andrew Swann @Manuel I have updated my answer to include a version that saves the glyphs in boxes.

Dec 16, 2012 at 17:38 comment added Manuel I didn't know this: line cap=round. A new little question. With the other methods we are using letters or modified letters, but with this method we are using TikZ every time we write \mysetminus. I don't know if this is a real problem or not. But I would like to save the command into a glyph or letter (I don't know how to say that, like take a snapshot). If this is a silly thing just don't answer me. However, I like the answer.
