Tick and cross symbols, copy and paste

Ready-made combos

Tap to copy the whole arrangement. These are the framed forms people use in bios, built from characters that are checked the same way the grid above is.

Dividers and borders

Box-drawing characters join without gaps when repeated, which is what makes these read as one rule rather than a row of dashes. Each character counts against your limit, so a long divider is an expensive piece of decoration.

In a bio

Three lines you can adapt. Replace the words and keep the spacing.

Ticks, crosses and ballot marks come from dingbat blocks, so they are text characters rather than emoji and take the colour of the text around them. Two look similar but behave differently: the heavy check mark is a dingbat, while the green tick is an emoji that renders in fixed colours.

Ticks that follow your theme, and ticks that do not

This is the category where the emoji distinction matters most, because the two versions look almost identical in a picker and behave completely differently once pasted.

The check mark at U+2713 and the heavy check mark at U+2714 are dingbats. They render in your text colour, so they turn white on a dark theme and sit quietly in a line of text.

The green tick most keyboards offer is an emoji. It stays green on every theme, renders larger than the surrounding text, and may count as two characters.

The same applies to crosses

The ballot X at U+2717 and the multiplication X at U+2715 are text. The red cross mark is an emoji. If you are building a list of what you do and do not do, mixing the two makes the list look uneven for no obvious reason.

Ballot boxes

The empty, checked and crossed ballot boxes at U+2610 to U+2612 are genuinely useful for a short checklist in a bio, and all three are well supported.

Accessibility

A tick carries meaning, and a screen reader announces it as "check mark" rather than as the word you meant. If the tick is doing real work in a sentence, put the word there too.
