How do I get this small empty box?

Question

I'm trying to copy over a question from my math homework to LaTeX, and can't figure out how to replicate this box between $G_1$ and $G_2$ :

I've tried \qed, but that is always preceded with a space:

I've tried \fbox{}, but it is too low in the line:

How do you think my professor achieved the box?

Welcome to TeX SX! \qedis for the end of proofs. Did you try \Box or the ams \square? — Bernard, Nov 11 '19 at 23:34
thanks for the welcome. also wow, I should have known it would be as easy as \square Thanks! Leave that as an answer and I'll accept it. — Josh Katofsky, Nov 11 '19 at 23:38
That's not really necessary. B. t.w., to have a proper spacing, you probably should use it as \mathbin{\square} (or define a personal macro as a shortcut). — Bernard, Nov 11 '19 at 23:42

Turns out $\square$ did the job. D'oh. $\Box$ also works.
