I'm looking for some macros to print characters that look like:

      *
    -----\
    -----/
      G

The easy way (which I now do) is $\Rightarrow^{*}_{G}$ but it doesn't
look right, coming out something like:

          *
    -----\
    -----/
          G

I've tried the \stackrel LaTeXism, but it doesn't do what I want.

Has anybody out there solved this problem before?  I would hate to
have to dig out my TeX manual to try to find a solution.

It is so difficult to find the beginning.  Or, better, it is difficult
to begin at the beginning.  And not try to go further back.

May the background be with you.
