Conclusion
If you want to get a checkmark just for beauty, then your chances are slim. The pages of really popular users are approved.
The checkmark symbol is not present on the keyboard, but with the help of special combinations it can be easily added to your message, post or text document.
Let's consider in more detail how this can be done.
Checkbox types + usage
A checkmark icon (bird, jackdaw) is a special icon that is often used to describe confirmation of something.
It can be found in the design of enumerations or underlines of thought. You can find and use the symbol yourself after reading the following instructions.
The easiest option is to copy the object from this article. There are several types of icon:
If you need a checkbox for use in one sentence or phrase, just copy the element you like by selecting it and using the CTRL and C keyboard shortcuts.
To type a bird on the keyboard yourself, you must use the Unicode encoding. Type the letter U and +. Then you need to dial the icon code.
Numerical designations for different types of checkmarks are as follows: 2713 (regular sign), 2714 (bold), 2705 (highlighted checkmark in the box), 2611 (normal in the box).
If the combination U +2713 or another does not automatically turn into a checkmark, most likely, the document is not configured to automatically recognize Unicode characters or you are entering the code incorrectly.
The text will immediately be transformed into the desired sign, so you can safely type it in messages and different posts.
Icon in MS Word
Anyone who has ever used it knows that placing special characters helps to structure the document and make it easy to read.
You may need a checkmark icon in the process of drawing up a list of tasks, listing.
Inexperienced users display the sign by adding an image with the desired element to the document. This approach is wrong because it increases the final file size.
Everything can be done much easier. To check the box in Word, follow the next few steps.
- Open the document in any version of the program. Depending on the year of the software release, the location of the required tabs may differ;
- Click on the "Insert" section;
- On the right side of the toolbar, find the "Symbol" item and click on it;
- In the Dropdown window, click on "Other symbols".
- In the pop-up window, you can find the check mark using one of two methods. Select the "Dingbats" set and in the proposed list, click on the desired element or in the lower part of the window enter the element code in Unicode (hexadecimal). For example, 2714. Word will automatically find the object you need. Click on it and confirm the action by clicking on "OK".
Fig. 3 - special characters in Word
After adding a checkmark to the body of the document, you can apply any formatting to it: change the color, font, title type, and other options.
Quite often, when working with text documents in Microsoft Word, it becomes necessary to add a special character to the usual text. One of these is the check mark, which, as you probably know, is not on the computer keyboard. It is about how to put it, and will be discussed in this article.
Like most of the tasks that can be encountered in the process of working with documents in the text editor Microsoft Word, the one set before us today can be solved in several ways. Three of them are essentially different versions of one and the same, since they allow you to add the same characters, but in slightly different ways, one implies an appeal to the standard Windows capabilities, and the other allows you to create a real checkbox - an interactive field in which you can tick , and clean up. Let's consider all this in more detail below.
Method 1: Insert symbols menu
This is the simplest and most obvious way to add any characters and special characters that are not on the keyboard to a text document. The tick that interests us is no exception.
- Click on the place on the sheet where you want to add a check mark. Switch to tab "Insert",
find and click on the button there "Symbol", located in the group of the same name on the control panel and select the item "Other symbols". - In the dialog box that opens, find the check mark symbol. The easiest and fastest way to do this is if the section "Font" select from the drop-down list "Wingdings", and then scroll down the list of symbols a little.
- After selecting the required symbol, click on the button "Paste", after which a check mark appears on the sheet.
By the way, if you need to insert a checkmark in the Word into a box, that is, create the checkbox already mentioned above (though static, not interactive), just select the corresponding icon in the same window "Symbols" and with the font installed "Wingdings"... This symbol looks like this:
Additionally... If in the character selection window change the font to "Wingdings 2", you can insert characters similar to the ones shown above, but in a thinner style.
Method 2: Custom font + keyboard shortcut
The characters shown above, imitating a check mark and a check mark in a square, belong to specific fonts - "Wingdings" and "Wingdings 2"... Just the latter can be used to enter the icons of interest from the keyboard. True, not everything is so obvious here, and therefore you cannot do without detailed instructions
Method 3: Custom font + code
If you closely followed the progress of the first method, you probably noticed that in the symbol selection window, when they are directly selected, in the lower right area is indicated "Mark code"... Knowing it and what font it belongs to, you can quickly enter the required character without having to go to the standard insert menu of a text editor.
Note:The code combinations indicated below must be entered only from the numeric keypad (NumPad) located on the right. The top row of numbers will not work for this, therefore, this method will not work on input devices without this block.
Wingdings
First of all, you need to choose the appropriate font - "Wingdings", then switch to the English keyboard layout, and then hold down the key ALT and alternately press on the number pad indicated below figures... Once you put them in and release them ALT, the symbol assigned to the code appears. The direct code combination entry will not be displayed.
- ALT + 236 - check mark
- ALT + 238 - check mark in the box
Note:In the window "Symbol" for the checkboxes we are considering, other codes are indicated, different from the ones indicated above, but for some reason they add completely different signs to the document. Perhaps this is just a bug or a program bug that will be fixed sooner or later.
Wingdings 2
If you want to enter a little more "slender" symbols of a checkmark or static checkbox, select in the tab "Home" font "Wingdings 2", after which, as in the above case, hold down ALT, type on the numeric keypad special code and let go ALT.
- ALT + 80 - check mark
- ALT + 82 - check mark in the box
Method 4: Windows preinstalled character set
All symbols presented in the built-in Word library are also directly in the operating system - they are written in a special table, from which they can be copied for further use. It is quite logical that Windows also contains the check marks and check marks of interest to us in a square frame.
- Use the system search (keys WINDOWS + S), if you have Windows 10 installed, and start typing the query into the line "Symbol table"... As soon as the corresponding component appears in the list of results, open it by clicking the left mouse button (LMB) on the name.
If you have Windows 7 installed, you should search through the menu "Start" - enter a similar query in the search box present in it. - In the dropdown list "Font" select "Wingdings" or "Wingdings 2", depending on which characters you need - bold or thinner (although the difference between them is minimal).
- In the list of characters assigned to the font that appears, find a check mark or a tick in the box, select it by clicking LMB and click on the button "Choose",
immediately after which the button will become active "Copy", which we need to use to place the symbol on the clipboard. - Go back to the text editor Word and paste the copied character (keys CTRL + V).
As you can imagine, you can copy from the system library and paste any other symbols into documents in the same way. Perhaps someone will find this approach more convenient than accessing the menu. "Insert" programs.
Method 5: Controls in developer mode
If a static checkmark, even dressed in a square frame, does not suit you and you need to insert an interactive element into a text document, that is, a field where you can check or uncheck the box, you will need to perform much more complex actions than in all of the above ways.
So, if you want to create a survey in Word, or, for example, make a to-do list, or present something in the form of a list with items that need to be ticked off, you will need to turn to the developer tools, which are disabled by default (for security reasons), and So, the first thing we need to do is turn them on.
- By going to the tab "Developer", click on located in the toolbox "Controls" button "Tools from previous versions", which is indicated in the image below (2).
- In the small list that opens, click on the checkmark icon in the square located in the block ActiveX controls.
- A checkbox will appear in the document, in which you can put a checkmark, accompanied by a standard signature - "CheckBox1"... In order to "mark" it, you need to exit "Design Mode" - just click on the corresponding button on the ribbon.
- Immediately after that, you will be able to check the checkbox.
But it is unlikely that anyone will be satisfied with the template appearance of this element - the signature text will obviously need to be changed. To be able to do this, go to "Design Mode"by clicking on the corresponding button on the ribbon. Next, right-click (RMB) on the field with the checkbox, and one by one go through the items of the context menu CheckBox Object — "Edit".
The text area will be "placed" in a separate field. Select the inscription by holding LMB, and then delete it by pressing the keys "BACKSPACE" or DELETE... Enter your description.
In order for the interactive field with a checkbox to be "ready to work", that is, it would be possible to check and uncheck it, just exit "Design Mode" - Likewise, you can add any desired number of list items.
For more detailed work with "ActiveX controls", which in our case are checkboxes, being in "Design Mode" double click LMB on the item you want to change. This will open the Microsoft Visual Basic editor window, in the lower left area of \u200b\u200bwhich you can do everything that can be done with ordinary text using the toolbar. Here you can change the description of the item, the font with which it is written, its size, color, style and many other parameters. We recommend that you only do what you understand.
Many people want to get a check mark next to the name Vkontakte, why do they need it? A check mark will be able to distinguish you among the gray mass of the same type of pages, because most often the pages of celebrities and politicians have a check mark. You probably thought that famous actors, musicians or politicians might have a tick, but this is not so.

How to get a Vkontakte tick if you are a regular user?
I want to say right away that it will not be easy and it will not work out right away, you will have to try. Since to get a check mark, the Vkontakte social network requires:
If your page doesn't look like that, then first you need to bring it to that view. You can get subscribers, you can do it for free or for free, remove unnecessary posts from the wall and start publishing posts about your life, working with pictures and unique descriptions.
Here, for example, is the page of a restaurateur, most do not even know who he is, famous in narrow circles, but has a tick. His page fully meets the criteria described above.
If you have already done all the above, it remains to ask to officially confirm the Vkontakte page, but first, let's cheat. Create a couple of fake pages and fill them with your photos. Now, when contacting technical support, you can complain that photos are stolen from you, fakes are created, and your photos are used for their own purposes. This is why you need a checkmark to highlight the main page among the fake ones. And if you have done everything that I indicated above, a check mark will be provided to you.
