Lists – How to Change Itemize Bullet to Square in LaTeX

Question

I am trying to change the itemize symbols. Using

\begin{itemize}
 \renewcommand{\labelitemi}{$\blacksquare$} 
 \item  An extensively analysis 
\end{itemize}

the problem is the dimension of the square. it is quite big with respect the bullet one. Any idea about that?

Answer 1

Try this. It changes the font size just before typesetting the \blacksquare. Depending on what you need, other sizes, such as \tiny are also available.

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

\begin{itemize}
 \renewcommand{\labelitemi}{\scriptsize$\blacksquare$}
 \item  An extensively analysis
\end{itemize}

\end{document}
