I am using the symbol $\Box$ as a binary operator and would like to create a unary operator symbol starting from that. My goal is to have a symbol that behaves like $\Bigotimes$ compared to $\otimes$ , for example.

How can I do that? (I know that I can resize the symbol, for example right now I am using $\mathop{\text{\Huge $\Box$} \text{\normalsize}}$, but this has the disadvantage of not scaling properly in $...$ vs. $$...$$ environments, and it is also not positioned properly in the vertical direction).

Many thanks!

Welcome to TeX.SX! A tip: You can use backticks ``` to mark your inline code as I did in my edit. – Tobi Sep 25 '14 at 11:17
Furthermore [What are the differences between $$, \, align, equation and display math? seems to be worth a look regarding the use of $$ ;-) – Tobi Sep 25 '14 at 11:18
Yes, indeed the question linked by Andrew contains the answer. Sorry, I did not find that question. Thanks again! – Jakob Sep 25 '14 at 11:40
