Which check mark to use

The light check mark (U+2713) suits running text and lists, the heavy check mark (U+2714) stands out in tables and labels. For to-do lists, use the empty ballot box (U+2610) for open tasks and the ballot box with check (U+2611) for finished ones, or the ballot box with X (U+2612) for tasks you dropped. The cross marks (U+2717 and U+2718) are the natural opposite of the tick for yes and no columns.

The square root sign and the large circle are also used as marks in some countries: the circle means correct in Japan and Korea, where a check mark can mean wrong.

In Word you can use Insert, Symbol and the code 2713 or 2714 with the font Segoe UI Symbol. In Excel and Google Sheets, copying the symbol from here is the quickest way, and conditional formatting can color the cells. In HTML, write ✓ or ✔.

Frequently asked questions

Will the check mark turn into a green emoji?

Some phones show the heavy check mark as an emoji. This page copies it with a marker that asks for the text style, which most apps respect.

What is the Unicode code of the check mark?

U+2713 for the check mark and U+2714 for the heavy check mark.

How do I copy a symbol?

Click or tap it. It is copied to the clipboard right away and added to the text box at the top, so you can also collect several symbols and copy them together.

Why does a symbol look different after pasting?

Each app draws symbols with its own font. The character is the same, only its design changes. If you see an empty box, the font in that app has no drawing for that symbol.

Why are there no emoji?

This page is for text symbols that work like letters. Some of them can turn into emoji on phones, so they are copied with a marker that asks for the plain text style.

Can I search in my own language?

Yes. Names are in the language of the page. You can also paste a symbol into the search box or search by its code, such as 2192.

Is anything sent or saved?

Nothing is sent anywhere. Your recently copied symbols are saved only in this browser and you can clear them at any time.
