How to Use and Format the Check Mark Symbol
The check mark ✓ is Unicode U+2713. Use it to indicate a completed, correct, selected, included, or approved state only when the surrounding label makes that state clear. A check mark is not the same character as a ballot box, heavy check mark, square-root sign, or letter v.
In checklists and comparison tables, align the marks consistently and include headings or labels that explain what each mark means. In an interactive checkbox or status control, expose the state in text or accessibility properties rather than relying on the glyph alone.
Use ✓ consistently for the same state throughout a checklist, table, or interface.
Pair the symbol with a label such as Completed, Included, or Correct when the meaning is not obvious.
Use a matching unchecked state, such as an empty checkbox, when displaying a two-state control.
Do not substitute √ or the letter v for a check mark.
Do not rely only on green color to communicate success or selection.
For interactive controls, provide the correct accessible name, role, and checked or selected state.

More About the Check Mark Symbol
The check mark symbol ✓ is a Unicode text character, not an image. The check mark indicates that something is correct, approved, selected, or completed. Because it remains selectable text, it can be copied into documents, messages, spreadsheets, source code, usernames, captions, and other fields that support Unicode. Its appearance can change with the active font or operating system, while the stored character remains U+2713 (CHECK MARK).
Supporting searches such as “check mark symbol copy and paste”, “check mark symbol keyboard shortcut”, and “inserting a tick symbol in word” usually describe the same core task from different angles: identifying the correct character, copying it, or learning how to enter it with a keyboard. This page keeps those intents together so you do not need separate pages for small wording differences. Use the copy control for the fastest method, then check the platform rows when you need a repeatable shortcut on a specific device or app.
Queries such as “ascii code for check symbol” and “check sign symbol” are covered by the keyboard, application, and character-code sections. The Windows and Mac instructions explain practical input methods, while the Microsoft Word and Google Docs rows cover document editing. Unicode, HTML, hexadecimal, and CSS values are listed separately so developers can insert the exact character without confusing it with a similar-looking mark.
Choose ✓ when its documented meaning matches the surrounding text, and compare the related-symbol links below when another character may be more precise. Spacing and visual style can vary by context, so follow the style guide of the document or platform. For example: ✓ Completed
