	U+2713. No Alt code types it: none of the Alt code tables holds a check mark. &check; in HTML, \checkmark in LaTeX, which needs amssymb. No Option key on the U.S. layout.
	U+2714. The bold check mark. It has the Emoji property, so an app may draw it in colour: the text style row asks for the plain drawing. No Alt code and no named HTML entity.
	U+2611. A ticked box in one character. It is a static mark, not a control, so nobody can click it on or off. It has the Emoji property.
	U+2705. An emoji by default: the font decides its colours and the text colour does not change them. White in a character name means outlined, not the colour. Added in Unicode 6.0 (2010).
	U+2610. The empty box, for a list that is printed and ticked by hand. No Alt code and no named HTML entity.
	U+2612. The box with a cross in it. On a printed form a cross in a square can stand for a choice as well as for no.

	U+2718. The bold cross that pairs with ✔. No Alt code and no named HTML entity.
	U+274C. An emoji by default, so the font decides its colour. Unicode's note: forms a game tally pair with ⭕. Added in Unicode 6.0 (2010).

How it works

The check mark symbol is ✓, Check mark, U+2713, and ✔ is the heavy one. No Alt code and no U.S. keyboard key types either. The 43 rows add ticked, empty and crossed boxes, ✗ and ✘, and a check mark in a circle.

Read the full guide

A tick, a box or a cross

Boxes holds ☐ empty, ☑ ticked and ☒ crossed. They are static marks, not controls, so nobody can click one on or off. X marks runs from the hand-drawn ✗ and the heavy ✘ to the emoji ❌. Look-alikes labels √, the square root sign, which only resembles a tick.

Where a check mark means wrong

✓ means yes in many countries, the English-speaking world included. In Swedish and Norwegian schools it commonly marks a wrong answer. In Japan the O mark, ◯, takes its place, and ✓ or an X marks a wrong one. Check mark is the American name; tick is the British, Australian and New Zealand one.

Tips

In HTML, &check; is ✓ and &cross; is ✗; ✔ is ✔ and ☑ is ☑. In LaTeX, \checkmark needs amssymb.

Questions and answers

How do I add a tick symbol in Word, on a slide or on a Mac?

In Word, type 2713 and press Alt+X for ✓, 2714 for ✔ or 2611 for ☑. PowerPoint cannot convert a code, so paste ✓ onto the slide. On a Mac, press Fn/Globe-E and search for check mark. On Windows 10, no Alt code types one.

What is the Alt code for a check mark?

There is none: no Alt code table holds ✓ or ✔. Alt+251 types √, Square root, and so does Option+V on the U.S. layout. It looks like a check mark and is another character, so copy ✓ from this page.

Is the Wingdings check mark the same character?

No. A check mark made with the Wingdings font is position 252 of that font, not U+2713, and it looks like a check mark only in that font. ✓ and ✔ are Unicode characters of their own.

Is there a circle with a check mark in it?

Not as one character: Unicode 18.0.0 has no circled check mark. Row ten joins ✓ to U+20DD, Combining enclosing circle, to make ✓⃝, and the fit depends on the font. ✅ is an emoji, so its font decides its shape and colours.

How this list was compiled: Names, and the code points they belong to, are checked against UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), and printed in sentence case. Notes that say Unicode's note or Unicode files it quote the headings and notes of NamesList.txt of the same version (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt); the version a character was added in is from DerivedAge.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt), the Emoji property and the text style and emoji style sequences are from emoji-data.txt and emoji-variation-sequences.txt of the same version, and the years are from https://www.unicode.org/history/publicationdates.html. Alt codes are from the code page 437 table (https://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/PC/CP437.TXT), the PC graphics table for codes 1 to 31 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MISC/IBMGRAPH.TXT) and the code page 1252 table (https://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP1252.TXT). Option keys were read from a U.S. keyboard layout; other layouts differ. HTML entity names are from https://html.spec.whatwg.org/entities.json, the HTML 4 name first where there is one, else the shortest. LaTeX macros are listed only when LaTeX's own fontdef.dtx or ltoutenc.dtx (https://github.com/latex3/latex2e/tree/develop/base) or the amssymb and amsfonts sources (https://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/amsfonts/source/) define them, matched to a code point through unicode-math-table.tex (https://github.com/latex3/unicode-math). The last group holds characters that one ordinary computer had no font for on the day this list was checked; your device may differ. That Unicode 18.0.0 has no single character for a circled check mark or a double check mark was checked by searching the names of UnicodeData.txt for CHECK. A cross on a form standing for a choice as well as for no is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_mark, the circle mark of Japan and Korea from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_mark, and the list of check mark characters was compared with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_mark, all checked 2026-09-19. Check marks and boxes being static symbols is from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/insert-a-symbol-09b3d8e6-cd92-423a-9f5e-7f813e7e4b9e, checked 2026-09-19. The task list marker is from the task list items extension of https://github.github.com/gfm/, read in its source https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/cmark-gfm/master/test/spec.txt on 2026-09-19. The symbols of Unicode 7.0 coming from symbol fonts is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingdings, checked 2026-09-19. White meaning outlined in character names, and U+FE0E and U+FE0F as requests for a text or an emoji presentation whose colours the text colour does not change, are from https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr51/, checked 2026-09-19. X marks are kept to the ones that pair with a check mark on a form. The Start here rows are this site's own pick.
