How to write a character overlapping another character
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
How can I write two characters in the same place?
In particular, I want to write an arrow $rightarrow$, and then write a letter such that the arrow strikes through the letter. I found some similar questions (Range symbol over character, Substitute a character by another one (Lualatex), etc.) but they are not exactly the same question.

Since an arrow is wider than almost every character, what do you plan to do with the excess?

A simple but probably naive way isrlap$rightarrow$x. Like egreg wrote, you need to figure out which way the excess should go. Note that theadjustboxpackage give further ways to lap content to all directions.

Not clear if you want it in text or math...
documentclassarticle
usepackagestackengine
begindocument
In testackengine0ptx$rightarrow$OcFTLt...
$ensurestackMathstackengine0ptyrightarrowOcFTL = mx + b$
enddocument
Also, it is not clear if you want the arrow's width to be accounted for:
documentclassarticle
usepackagestackengine
begindocument
In testackengine0ptx$rightarrow$OcFFLt...
$ensurestackMathstackengine0ptyrightarrow!OcFFL = mx + b$
enddocument
Other things that can be easily adjusted above include horizontal alignment (currently centered) as well as vertical height of arrow placement (currently placed at its natural height).
Once the specifics are decided on the use case, this can be easily encapsulated in a macro.
Below, keeping up with the egregs, I implement a macro version (overarrow) for math that preserves the math style:
documentclassarticle
usepackagestackengine,scalerel
newcommandoverarrow[1]ThisStyleensurestackMath%
stackengine0ptSavedStyle#1SavedStylerightarrow!OcFFL
begindocument
$overarrowy = mx_overarrowz + b$

Since an arrow is wider than almost every character, what do you plan to do with the excess?
– egreg
Feb 19 at 13:45
A simple but probably naive way is
rlap$rightarrow$x. Like egreg wrote, you need to figure out which way the excess should go. Note that theadjustboxpackage give further ways to lap content to all directions.– Martin Scharrer♦
