using a symbol from the wasy physics symbol set

using a symbol from the wasy physics symbol set

[Jesse Alama]

I'd like to use the symbol varangle from the wasy physics symbol set.
In my file I've got

\usesymbols[was]
\showsymbolset[wasy physics]

$\symbol[varangle]$

In the PDF that's generated, I see the symbols in the wasy physics
symbol set just fine, but following the symbol set table, I just see an
OE ligature glyph.  What might be going on?  And is there any way I can
use

  \varangle

rather than

  \symbol[varangle]

?

Thanks,

Jesse

You should not use it in math mode. Or if you want to use it in math 
mode surround it with \text{...}

The easiest way is to

\def\varangle{\text{\symbol[varangle]}}

A more robust method may be

\definemathcommand [varangle]  [\text{\symbol[varangle]}]
