Get the Check Mark (✓) Symbol Instantly
Need a check mark for your to-do list, web design, or document? Using an image is overkill. This tool provides the standard Unicode (U+2713), HTML Entity, and CSS Escape codes to render a crisp, scalable check mark (✓) on any device.
How to Insert the Check Mark (✓)
- HTML/Web: Copy the code `✓` or `✓` and paste it directly into your HTML code.
- Windows (Alt Code): Hold the **Alt** key and type **2713** (Unicode Hex Input required) or simply copy/paste the symbol.
- Microsoft Word: Type `2713` into your document and immediately press **Alt + X**.
Which Check Mark Should I Use?
The Unicode standard offers several check mark variations. The standard `✓` (U+2713) is thin and clean, perfect for lists. The heavy `✔` (U+2714) is bolder. There are also emoji versions like `✅` (U+2705) which are colorful and graphical. Be aware that **Emojis** may look different on every device (Apple vs. Android), while standard Unicode symbols (`✓`) usually inherit the text font color and style.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why does my check mark look like a square?
This happens if the current font does not support the “Dingbats” Unicode block. Try changing the font to something standard like **Arial**, **Segoe UI**, or **Helvetica**.
Q. Can I change the color of the check mark?
Yes! Standard Unicode symbols like `✓` and `✔` behave like text. You can use CSS `color: green;` to change their color. Emoji versions (`✅`) are fixed images and cannot be colored via CSS.
