History & usage: Character The symbol is the WHITE HEAVY CHECK MARK, with codepoint U+2705 in the Dingbats block and Common script. It appears as a single, bold check mark. In design and typography, it is used as a symbol of selection or completion. The character is part of the standard set used for symbols in lists, forms, and user interfaces. Usage A check mark typically means confirmed, done, or correct in lists and UIs. The mark helps users see at a glance that an item has been addressed or approved. When designers choose this symbol, they expect a clear, positive indication that a task is finished or an option is chosen. In practical terms, it works well in checklists, status indicators, and confirmation dialogs. Because it is a common symbol, it transfers across languages and platforms with little translation needed. This makes it a reliable visual cue for completion. Keeping the presentation simple helps users interpret the status quickly and reduces confusion in interactive contexts.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2705
in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
