You shouldn't have to create it. I found it in several TrueType fonts -- 
Euclid Extra, Euclid Math Two, StarSymbol. You can copy and paste 
characters into the formula editor from whatever the Linux equivalent to 
Character Map is (I'm on XP). In fact, that works better for some things 
like creating the mu symbol for micrograms, etc. The spacing to the 
following character works better that way.
