Checked Box symbol
Type :checked_box: · Marks
What ☑ is for
A box with a tick already in it, the completed half of a plain-text checklist. The box keeps the left edge of every line aligned in a way a bare tick does not.
How to type ☑
The shortcuts below are the built-in routes. With
Emoji Anywhere
installed you can skip all of them and type
:checked_box: 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 2611
with Option held.
Windows
No Alt code. In Word, type 2611 then press Alt +
X. Elsewhere use the emoji panel with Win + Period, or Character Map.
