History & usage: The symbol is called the left square bracket with a tick in the top corner. Its code point is U+298D, and it appears in the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B block. In use, a check mark often means confirmed, done, or correct in lists and user interfaces. This helps readers know a result is true or verified. The bracket part creates a visual boundary. Brackets and quotes delimit groups, parameters, or quoted text in writing and code. This makes complex ideas easier to read. In history, such symbols were added to support mathematical notation and clear writing. They can show a subset, a range, or a special grouping inside expressions. In software and documents, these marks help organize data and steps. When someone uses this symbol, it signals both a delimiting role and a status check at once. The combination is practical for editors and developers who work with formulas and structured text. Overall, the symbol serves two jobs: mark a group and indicate a confirmed item in lists and interfaces.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+298D in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.

Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
