How to Type the Check Mark Symbol (Alt Code + Keyboard)
The fastest method on any device is to copy a check mark from this page and paste it directly where you need it. If you prefer typing it manually in Word, place your cursor where you want the symbol, type 2713 (or 2714 for a bolder check), then press Alt+X immediately after, Word converts the code into ✓ or ✔.
The three-digit alt code many people remember, Alt+251, does not actually produce a check mark, it produces the square root symbol (√) from the older Windows code page. There is no true check mark in the original ASCII character set at all, which is why that classic alt code trick never matches. For a guaranteed check mark on any app, including Windows 10 and 11, copy it from this page instead.

| Unicode (ballot box with check) | U+2611 |

| HTML / CSS hex | ✓ / \2713 |
Check Mark Symbol in Word
Copy a check mark from this page and paste it directly into your document, this works in every version of Word without changing fonts. If you prefer typing it manually, type 2713 then press Alt+X to convert the code into ✓. You can also switch a character’s font to Wingdings and type a capital P for a bold check mark glyph, a shortcut built into Word since the Wingdings font shipped with Office.
Check Mark Symbol in Excel
Excel does not support the Alt+X trick used in Word, so the simplest way is to copy a check mark from this page and paste it into a cell. You can also go to Insert > Symbol, choose the Wingdings font, and select the check mark character, or wrap it in a formula like =CHAR(252) with the cell font set to Wingdings.
Check Mark Symbol in PowerPoint & Google Docs
In PowerPoint, use Insert > Symbol just like Word, or simply paste a check mark copied from this page onto your slide. In Google Docs, open Insert > Special characters, then search “check mark” to browse every checkbox and tick symbol Google offers, or paste one directly from here to skip the menu entirely.
Check Mark Symbol on Mac
There is no dedicated Option-key shortcut for the check mark on Mac. Open the Character Viewer with Control + Command + Space, search “check”, and double-click a result to insert it, or copy your check mark straight from this page and skip the menu.
What Does the Check Mark Symbol Mean?
In math and grading, a check mark simply means “correct” or “verified”, it is not a formal operator like ∴ or ∈. Teachers, auditors, and reviewers use it as a quick visual confirmation that an item has been checked and approved, which is also where the “tick mark” used in bookkeeping and audits comes from.
