Check Tick symbol
Type :check: · Marks
Unicode name Check Mark · Dingbats block · added in Unicode 1.1, 1993
What ✓ is for
The tick, for a done item or a passed test in plain text. Renders as a plain glyph in most fonts, though some platforms colour it in as an emoji, which is worth checking before it goes somewhere public.
How to type ✓
The shortcuts below are the built-in routes. With
Emoji Anywhere
installed you can skip all of them and type
:check: in any text field instead, which
is the same on every platform.
macOS
No direct shortcut. Use Edit → Emoji & Symbols, or switch to the Unicode Hex
Input source and type 2713 with Option
held.
Windows
No Alt code. In Word, type 2713 then press Alt +
X. Elsewhere use the emoji panel with Win + Period, or Character Map.

What ✓ gets mistaken for
The bolder cut. Reads better at small sizes and is more likely to be rendered in colour.
Tick already inside a box, for a checklist that needs to show its unchecked state too.
