I'm writing a paper and I would like to have a square at the end of each proof without having the "Proof." that comes automatically with the
\begin{proof}
...
\end{proof}
thing because I don't want the "Proof" to be in italic, and I want two dots after "Proof".
I know I can do this manually by using \blacksquare
or something of this sort. But I want the squares to be placed automatically because there are too many proofs and it would take a lot of time to manage the spacing after each proof. So I do want to use that "\begin{proof}…\end{proof}" thing but somehow I don't want it to give "Proof." at the beginning.
Is there a way for this? And if not, what other command could I use so that black squares are placed automatically but with no "Proof." at the beginning?
Thanks a lot.

Assuming you employ the
amsthm
package to set up and typeset theorem-like environments, you may achieve your formatting objective by modifying the macros\proofname
and\qedsymbol
.
