I cannot remember / figure anymore how to type the square

I can copy and paste it, but there used to be a shortcut somewhere…
I believe not – at least not on the Mac. You can directly
input Unicode characters via the keyboard in Windows.
<http://superuser.com/questions/47420/insert-unicode-characters-via-the-keyboard>
For reference, you can enter Unicode characters on a Mac by
typing via the "Unicode Hex Input" method (aka "source").
To enable this method, bring up the Keyboard system prefs and
select the Input Sources pane, then make sure the "Show Input
menu in menu bar" option is enabled. Next, click the plus (+)
button below the left-hand list, then select and add the
"Unicode Hex Input" method (you can search for it).
Once you've set things up, you can select this method from the
Input menu[*], and then just press and hold down the Option key
and type the 4-digit hex code of the Unicode character you want
to insert.
[*: You can also use the key shortcuts defined in the Shortcuts
-> Input Sources section of the Keyboard system prefs to switch
input methods ]
PS: Once you've set things up, this is actually much easier to
do than it may sound... :-)
