How to Write the Square Symbol (▢) in LaTeX

In LaTeX, you can write the square symbol (▢) using the \square command. This command is part of the amssymb package, so you need to include this package in LaTeX document.

The following examples show how to write the square symbol in LaTeX.

How to Write the Square Symbol in Text

We can use the \square command to write the square symbol in LaTeX document for text.

Suppose we want to write the square symbol in the text.

We can use the following LaTeX code to do so:

This is an example of using the square symbol ▢ in a sentence.

In this example, we use the \square command to display the square symbol in the text.

How to Write the Square Symbol in Mathematical Expressions

For mathematical expressions, We can use the \square command to ensure proper formatting.

Suppose we would like to write mathematical expressions that contain the square symbol.

We can use the following LaTeX code to do so:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\begin{document}

An inline mathematical expression: \( \square \)

A displayed mathematical expression:

\]

\end{document}

Output: 👇️

In this example, we use the \square command to denote the square symbol in both inline and displayed mathematical expressions.

Conclusion

We can use the \square command from the amssymb package for both text and mathematical expressions. This ensures that the square symbol is properly formatted and displayed in LaTeX document.
