Hello.

I need to place a black loznge, tirangle and square in my thesis. I have found this document. But command such as \filledsquare or \blacklozenge are not recognized by latex.

Any thought?

Of course they work, once the appropriate packages have been loaded (amsmath, for \blacklozenge and mnsymbol for \filledsquare):

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{mnsymbol}

\begin{document}

$\filledsquare$

$\blacklozenge$

\end{document}
