QED symbol in latex

latex

How do I type a QED symbol – I want a full box and not an empty box like \qed gives you. (I'm not using \begin{proof})

Best Answer

You can use \blacksquare:

When creating TeX, Knuth provided the symbol ■ (solid black square), also called by mathematicians tombstone or Halmos symbol (after Paul Halmos, who pioneered its use as an equivalent of Q.E.D.). The tombstone is sometimes open: □ (hollow black square).
