The ✓ (Check Mark) is a universally recognized dingbat symbol used to indicate approval, completion, or correctness. Originating from typographic traditions to denote a verified item on a list, it was standardized in Unicode's Dingbats block. Today, it frequently appears in digital forms, to-do lists, and user interfaces to signal a successful action or an active selection.
