Quine corners are the symbols to enclose Church numerals. In LaTeX, one can create a macro to achieve it.
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \def \quine #1{ \mbox{$\ulcorner$\hspace{-4pt}$\ulcorner$} #1 \mbox{$\urcorner$\hspace{-4pt}$\urcorner$} } \begin{document} $\quine i$ \end{document}
An equivalent way follows
%church number of lambda terms \def \ch #1{ \ulcorner #1 \urcorner } %quine corners for numerals \def \quine #1{ \ch {\mbox{\hspace{-4pt}} \ch{ #1} \mbox{\hspace{-4pt}}} }The result is like $$\ulcorner \hspace{-4pt} \ulcorner n \urcorner \hspace{-4pt} \urcorner$$
