Every checkmark, with its Unicode and HTML code
Here is the full reference for the symbols in the grid above. Developers can paste the HTML entity straight into a page; designers can search the Unicode value in a character map.

Typing a checkmark without copy-paste
If you type checkmarks often, memorizing one shortcut beats visiting a copy page every time. On Windows 10 and 11, Win + period opens the emoji and symbol panel in any text field. On a Mac, Control + Command + Space opens the Character Viewer with the same effect.
In Microsoft Word and Excel, the classic route is Insert, Symbol, then change the font to Wingdings where the check mark lives near the bottom. In code and on the web, the HTML entities above are the reliable choice because they do not depend on any font the reader has installed.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between ✓ and ✔?
Both are check marks, but they are different Unicode characters. ✓ (U+2713) is the plain check mark, while ✔ (U+2714) is the heavy, bolder version. In most fonts ✔ looks thicker. Pick whichever matches your design; both paste as text everywhere.
Why does the checkmark look different on my phone than on my computer?
Some symbols have both a text style and an emoji style. Phones often render ✅ and ✔️ as colorful emoji, while desktop fonts may show a plain monochrome glyph. If you need a consistent look, use the plain text versions (✓, ✔, ☑) rather than the emoji ones.
How do I type a checkmark on Windows without copy-paste?
Press Win + . (Windows key plus period) to open the emoji panel, then search for check. In Microsoft Word you can also go to Insert, then Symbol, and pick the check mark from the Wingdings font. For HTML, use the entity ✓ for ✓.
How do I type a checkmark on a Mac?
Press Control + Command + Space to open the Character Viewer, then search for check mark. You can also copy one from this page once and keep it in a notes app for reuse.
What are the HTML codes for checkmark symbols?
The most useful ones: ✓ is ✓ (or ✓), ✔ is ✔, ☑ is ☑, and ✗ is ✗. Paste the entity into your HTML and it renders as the symbol in any browser.
Why did the symbol paste as an empty box?
That box (sometimes called tofu) means the font on the receiving device does not include that character. It is most common with exotic symbols. The plain ✓ and ✔ are supported almost everywhere, so switch to one of those if you see boxes.
Can I use these symbols in Word, Excel, and Google Docs?
Yes. They are plain Unicode text, so they work in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Google Docs, Sheets, email, and chat apps. In Excel, you can also combine them with conditional formatting for visual checklists.
