More About the Checkbox Symbol

It appears in printed checklists, status tables, lesson material, and plain-text notes where a selectable character is more useful than an image. The mark ☑ is specifically a ballot box containing a check. It is not the empty box ☐, the ballot box with X, a standalone check mark, or a functioning form widget. Those examples communicate completion only because the nearby label supplies the task or option. For web forms, use an actual checkbox element so keyboard users and assistive technology can read and change the state. For static documents, keep ☑ as Unicode text, preserve U+2611, and add words such as “checked” or “complete” when the meaning is important. Test the final font because the box size and check stroke can vary. Do not replace ☑ with ☐ after a task is completed, and do not rely on color alone.
