History & usage: The character is the LEFT SQUARE BRACKET WITH TICK IN BOTTOM CORNER (U+298F). It belongs to the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B block and uses the Common script. A check mark typically means confirmed, done, or correct in lists and UIs. Brackets and quotes delimit groups, parameters, or quoted text in writing and code. In history, such symbols appear as specialized punctuation in math notation and in user interfaces to indicate a verified item. The tick in the bottom corner signals a closing or securing mark on the bracket form, aligning with the idea of a confirmed element. In usage, this shape can be seen in contexts where a bracket is needed to group parts and the tick adds a visible confirmation. It serves both as a structural marker and a status indicator in simple displays. When used in documents or forms, readers interpret the brackets as a boundary and the tick as a sign of approval. The symbol is part of a family of decorative or functional marks that support clear, compact notation in math and UI design.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+298F 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.
