    Try a rectangle shaped button stretched 100% (makes it square)

    You can also use a full stop (period) character from the Arial font. Dingbat fonts (WingDings and WebDings) that come with Windows have many usable shapes.

    Use two full stop characters or two square shape characters from the Wingdings font.

    Using the Wingding font the lower case n is a square shape.
