Check marks Symbols — Copy and Paste

12 check marks symbols for done, correct, verified. Tap any character to copy it — including the plain-text versions that survive any font.

Copy any check marks symbol

Tap or click a character and it goes straight to your clipboard. These are Unicode text characters, not images, so they paste into any text field.

What these symbols are for

Ticks and crosses are the vocabulary of lists. The heavy check is the standard done mark, the ballot-box versions are for checklists you are writing by hand, and the full-colour emoji versions are the clearest choice anywhere they render.

There are 12 characters in this set. The grid above is the fastest way to take one — tap it and it is on your clipboard. The table below is the reference: the Unicode name of each character and the job people normally give it, so you can pick the right one instead of guessing from the shape.

How to copy and paste check marks symbols

Every character on this page is a button, and the steps are identical on a phone, a tablet and a desktop:

Nothing is installed and nothing is uploaded. These are standard Unicode characters, so the device you are already holding knows how to draw them.

Where these characters work, and where they do not

Ordinary text is safe everywhere. The problems start with two groups: characters that need a font the receiving device may not ship with, and applications that deliberately filter what you can type.

PlaceWorks?What to expect
Instagram, TikTok, X bio and captionsYesSymbols and emoji both display; a handful of rare glyphs may render as a box on older Android versions
Discord display name and messagesYesAlmost everything works, including the rarer box-drawing characters
WhatsApp, Telegram, SignalYesFull support for emoji and symbols
Word, Google Docs, Excel, SheetsYesFine on a desktop; fonts on older Office installs may miss the newest glyphs
Most online games (usernames)SometimesMany titles strip anything outside their font. Test with one symbol first
SMSYes, butAn emoji can push a message into a longer billing segment

The practical rule: if you are decorating a bio or a document, paste freely. If you are building a username that has to survive a game login screen, start with one character, confirm it appears, then add the rest.

Frequently asked questions

Which tick is safest?✔ and ✓, because they are in nearly every font. The emoji ✅ is clearer but takes more than one character in some fields.
How do I make a checklist in a document?Pair ☑ and ☐ so the boxes line up, or use ✔. Both sit inline with text.
What is the difference between ✗ and ✘?✗ is the thin ballot cross and ✘ the heavy one. Use ✘ next to ✔ so the weights match.
