How to Type ✓
Windows
Use Character Map, the touch keyboard symbol panel, or copy the symbol above.
Microsoft Word
Type 2713, then Alt+X. Word converts the hexadecimal Unicode value into the symbol.
Mac
Press Control+Command+Space to open Character Viewer, search for the symbol name, and insert it. Copy and paste is often faster for occasional use.
Chromebook and Linux
On supported systems, press Ctrl+Shift+U, type 2713, and press Enter. Chromebook users can also use the on-screen keyboard or copy the symbol.
iPhone and Android
Long-press related keyboard keys when the symbol is built in. Otherwise, copy it from this page and paste it into the destination app.
Meaning and Correct Use
Do not rely on color or the symbol alone when users need an accessible status message.
Use the exact Unicode character rather than a visually similar substitute when meaning, search, sorting, accessibility, or computer processing matters.
