Cannot find peculiar rho symbol and special parenthesis

Question

I googled a lot but I did not manage to reproduce:

this rho symbol and
this special parenthesis .

Thanks in Advance,

Mirko

For the first, perhaps $\varrho$ – Steven B. Segletes Sep 14 '17 at 11:17 — Steven B. Segletes, Sep 14 '17 at 11:17
\Lbag of stmaryrd package. – Steven B. Segletes Sep 14 '17 at 11:23 — Steven B. Segletes, Sep 14 '17 at 11:23
Gfs Bodoni has a varrho close to this. – Bernard Sep 14 '17 at 11:27 — Bernard, Sep 14 '17 at 11:27

The site http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html is the proper way to search for these.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{stmaryrd}
\begin{document}
$\varrho \Lbag$
\end{document}

Here is a composite glyph to better capture the odd \varrho, given by an overlay of \varsigma and a stretched o.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{stmaryrd,stackengine,scalerel}
\stackMath
\begin{document}
$\varsigma \varrho \Lbag 
\stackengine{1.45pt}{\varsigma}{\hstretch{1.25}{\mkern.3mu\scriptstyle o}}{O}{c}{F}{F}{L}$
\end{document}

+1 thanks for the link! The parenthesis is right, but I think that the character of the image is different from \varrho. If you look it is slightly different. – Briomkez Sep 14 '17 at 13:52
@Briomkez I attributed that to the font designer's choice, though I have not found another font that presents it quite that way. Kind of cross between a \varrho and a \zeta. – Steven B. Segletes Sep 14 '17 at 13:54
@Briomkez Please see my edit. – Steven B. Segletes Sep 14 '17 at 14:10
