Best character to use for the «bolaspa» sign in Spanish

To argue the other side:

The examples given seem to suggest that bolaspa, as opposed to ⊗, is always 
shown in superscript, in Unicode chart terms, something like:

≈ <super> 2297 ⊗

So, if this is indeed done consistently, perhaps that can be a basis for an 
argument in a proposal.

Best,
Fred Brennan
