About this symbol
An empty box is what a screen shows when a font has no glyph for a character, and designers call these boxes tofu. Google named its Noto font family after the goal of “no tofu”: a font for every character in Unicode.
In logic □ means “necessarily”, so □p reads as “p must be true”.
