Good to know
Don’t mix it up: It is often confused with the plain heavy check mark ✔ (U+2714), which usually displays as a single dark tick.
Tip: Its appearance varies between platforms, so use ✓ or ✔ when you need a plain, predictable tick in documents.
Display: the character itself is always the same code point, but its shape comes from the font on the device showing it. If you see an empty box, the font lacks this glyph—the text is still correct.
