History & usage: WHITE SQUARE WITH RIGHTWARDS TICK is a symbol in the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-A block. Its code point is U+27E5, hex 27E5. It appears as a white square with a small tick that moves to the right. This shape helps people see a positive result quickly. In use, it combines two ideas: a square box and a check mark. The box can be checked or marked as seen. The tick signals confirmation, completion, or correctness. In many lists and user interfaces, a check mark means done or correct. The rightward tick can show progress without filling space with text. The symbol is used in forms, dashboards, and notes. It provides a clear cue while staying simple. Users recognize it as an indicator of a favorable status. For accessibility, screen readers may announce the item as checked or confirmed. The symbol serves as a compact, universal cue across languages. In short, it communicates that something is verified and ready. A check mark typically means confirmed, done, or correct in lists and UIs.

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.
