Tick symbols, also known as checkmarks or check symbols, are a type of symbol used to indicate that an item or task on a list has been completed, approved, or verified. They are commonly used in to-do lists, forms, and other documents to provide feedback. There are several types of tick symbols, each with their own style and meaning. The most common type of tick symbol is a simple checkmark, which is typically represented by a small tick or X-shaped mark.
Tick symbols can also be used in more complex forms and documents to indicate different levels of completion or approval. For example, a half-filled checkbox may indicate partial completion or a conditional approval, while a fully filled checkbox indicates complete or unconditional approval.
Tick symbols can be represented using a variety of characters and emoji. In Unicode, there are several characters specifically designated as tick symbols, including the check mark (✓), heavy check mark (✔), and ballot box with check (☑️). These characters can be used in email, messaging, and other digital communication to convey the same meaning as physical tick symbols.
