Check marks are some of the most-copied symbols because they read instantly: a ✓ for done, a ✗ for not, a ☑ for a completed item. Because they're text characters, they drop straight into a spreadsheet cell, a to-do list, a comparison table, a social post or a chat without needing an image or a special font. The plain tick (✓) and ballot X (✗) have the widest support; the emoji versions (✅ ❌) render in colour on most modern devices but can look out of place in formal documents, where the monochrome ✓ and ✗ usually sit better.

FAQ

How do I type a check mark?
The quickest way is to copy one above. On Windows you can also use Alt+0252 in the Wingdings font, and on Mac the Character Viewer (Ctrl+Cmd+Space) has them — but copying the real Unicode ✓ works everywhere.
What's the difference between ✓ and ✔?
✓ is the standard check mark; ✔ is the "heavy" version with a thicker stroke. They mean the same thing — pick whichever weight looks better next to your text.
