How It Works
1. Hex:✔ inserts code point U+2714 → ✔.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10004 → ✔. Same visual as hex.
3. CSS: use \2714 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ✔.
4. Typed: paste ✔ in a UTF-8 document when you need the bold tick. Prefer aria-label or nearby prose such as “Completed” so status is clear to everyone.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with heavy check mark.
Name
No named entity
There is no HTML5 named entity for U+2714. Use ✔ or ✔. Do not invent &heavycheck;.
✓
Not ✓
✓ is ✓ (U+2713). Heavy check mark is ✔. Related ticks — different weight and code points.
✘
Not an error mark
For incorrect or unchecked states, prefer ✘ (heavy ballot X). ✔ means success or done.
Font
Font coverage
Some fonts omit Dingbats. If ✔ is missing, fall back to text (“Done”) or a font with U+2714 coverage.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2714 belongs in CSS strings. ✔ / ✔ belong in HTML.

Add accessible text
Screen readers may not announce ✔ clearly. Prefer aria-label="Completed" or nearby prose for status.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish entities with ; — write ✔, not ✔.
