Good to know

Don’t mix it up: It is often confused with the lighter ✓ (U+2713, CHECK MARK) and the green emoji ✅ (U+2705).

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.
