# [texhax] Hacking \circleddash

My attempt to hack a 'standard state' symbol which looks like a circle with
a horizontal line thru it
it would only ever be used as a superscript in math mode
is not great, even downright poor ... see \notzero below

ideally a hack of the AMS symbol \circleddash with a smaller circle and/or
a longer line
would fit the bill.  The closest I have found in the Comprehensive LaTeX
Symbol List
is \minuso in the stmaryrd package which I do not want to use ...

So how does one redefine \circleddash to suit?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\def\notzero{{\mathchar'174\mkern-13mu 0}}

\begin{document}

$$H^{\notzero}_T = H^{\notzero}_r + \int^T_r C^{\notzero}_P \; dT$$

$$\circleddash$$
