Heavy vs Light Checkmarks

The two most common checkmarks people search for are the light \u2713 (U+2713) and the heavy \u2714 (U+2714). The difference is weight. The heavy version has thicker strokes, which makes it stand out better in headings, bold text, or presentations. The light version looks cleaner in body text or tables.

Symbol	Style	Best For	Copy
\u2713	Light	Body text, lists, tables	\u2713
\u2714	Heavy	Headings, presentations, emphasis	\u2714
\u2705	Emoji	Chat, social media, colorful contexts	\u2705

Pro tip: If you're using these on a website, the light check \u2713 renders more consistently across fonts. The heavy \u2714 can look slightly different depending on the font your visitors have installed.

Ballot Box Checks

Ballot box symbols combine a checkbox with a check mark. They're perfect for forms, surveys, and to-do lists where you want that "filled in" look.

Symbol	Name	Unicode	Copy
\u2610	Ballot Box (empty)	U+2610	\u2610
\u2611	Ballot Box with Check	U+2611	\u2611
\u2612	Ballot Box with X	U+2612	\u2612
\U0001f5f9	Ballot Box with Bold Check	U+1F5F9	\U0001f5f9
\U0001f5f8	Light Check Mark	U+1F5F8	\U0001f5f8

Use \u2610 for unchecked items and \u2611 for checked items. The \u2612 with an X is great for "not applicable" or "rejected" states.

Mobile (iOS & Android)

On iPhone or Android, the easiest way is to copy from here or use your emoji keyboard and search for "check mark." The \u2705 emoji is available natively on both platforms.

Using Checkmarks in Different Apps

Microsoft Word & Google Docs

Both apps support inserting checkmarks through their special character menus. In Word, go to Insert > Symbol > More Symbols. In Google Docs, go to Insert > Special Characters and search "check." You can also just paste \u2713 directly \u2014 both handle it fine.

Excel & Google Sheets

Spreadsheets love check marks. You can paste \u2713 or \u2714 into any cell. For a more interactive approach, use data validation with a checkbox (both Excel and Google Sheets have built-in checkbox features now). You can also use conditional formatting to change the cell color when it contains a check mark.

Social Media & Chat

On most social platforms (Twitter, Instagram, Discord, Slack), \u2705 renders as the green check emoji. The simpler \u2713 and \u2714 show up as text characters. For WhatsApp and Messenger, \u2705 is your best bet since it's a proper emoji.

HTML & Web Development

To use check marks in HTML, you can either paste the character directly or use HTML entities:

Render	Decimal Entity	Hex Entity
\u2713	✓	✓
\u2714	✔	✔
\u2611	☑	☑
\u2705	✅	✅
