Checkmarks Symbols

Ticks and check characters in light, heavy, italic and boxed forms, plus checked and unchecked ballot boxes for lists and forms.

This group holds 12 characters. They are scattered from U+237B to U+274E, 980 codepoints apart, because they were added to Unicode at different times and for different reasons. They are drawn from Dingbats (9), Miscellaneous Symbols (2), Miscellaneous Technical (1) in the Unicode Standard, which is what decides how each one is encoded and how software sorts and compares it.

Most of the traffic to this group is for ✓. The phrase people type for the first of those is check emoji copy and paste, which is worth knowing if you are looking for it under another name.

Most of them, 9 of the 12, come from Dingbats: the printer's ornaments from the classic Zapf Dingbats font. A block is an address rather than a category, and this group is drawn from 3 of them. The rest come from Miscellaneous Symbols and Miscellaneous Technical.

None of these is listed here with a Windows Alt code, so copying is the route in this drawer.

Every character below copies with one click. 6 of them have a guide page as well, with the Windows, Mac and HTML route written out.
