Check Mark ✓
Usage snapshot:
- A check mark typically means confirmed, done, or correct in lists and UIs.
History & usage: The CHECK MARK depicts a symbol used to show approval, completion, or correctness. In lists, it marks an item as done and moves it from pending to finished. In forms and dashboards, it signals a successful submission or a valid entry. In status banners or task trackers, it confirms that a step is complete and the project can advance. When shown next to options, it can indicate that a choice is correct or verified. It helps users quickly scan for completed tasks and confirmed results. Cross‑platform appearance varies slightly by font, but the meaning remains the same. For accessibility, screen readers can announce it as a confirmation or completed item to aid understanding for users with visual impairments.

Compatibility & troubleshooting

Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
