U+2713 · Dingbats

Check Mark ✓

The check mark, or tick, is the plain character for "done," "correct" or "yes." It is used in to-do lists, feature comparison tables, forms, grading and status updates. Its light, thin stroke makes it a good fit for documents and interfaces where emoji would feel too loud.

Good to know

Don’t mix it up: It is sometimes mistaken for the square root sign √ (U+221A), which has a long horizontal top stroke.

Tip: In HTML, the named entity &check; outputs ✓.

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.
