Meaning & usage

The heavy check mark is the same idea as ✓ drawn with a much thicker stroke, so it stays readable at small sizes and in bold headings. It is the tick most people picture from app interfaces and presentation slides.

Where ✓ feels neat and formal, ✔ feels decisive — finished, verified, approved. If a normal tick looks too faint next to your text, this is the one to copy.

How to type the heavy check mark

Windows

There is no Alt code or direct key for ✔. In Microsoft Word, type 2714 and press Alt+X to convert it. Everywhere else, click the Copy button at the top of this page and paste it (Ctrl+V) — that always works.

There is no Option-key shortcut for ✔ on a Mac. Open the Character Viewer with Control+Command+Space, search for "Heavy Check Mark", and double-click to insert — or copy it from this page.

Frequently asked questions

When should I use ✔ instead of ✓?

Use ✔ when the tick needs to stand out — in headings, marketing copy, or next to bold text. Use ✓ for neat in-text lists and documents.

Does ✔ show in colour anywhere?

In most fonts ✔ is plain text. Some apps replace certain check marks with coloured emoji versions; ✔ itself normally stays black, which keeps documents consistent.

Why does ✔ sometimes show as a box or question mark?

The box (called tofu) means the device or font viewing it has no drawing for U+2714 (Heavy Check Mark). The character itself is fine — try a different font or a newer device, or use one of the variants on this page.

Is the Heavy Check Mark free to use?

Yes. ✔ is a standard Unicode text character published in the Unicode Character Database. You may use it in personal and commercial documents, designs and products without permission or payment.
