U+1F5F9 "🗹" Ballot Box with Bold Check Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

🗹

U+1F5F9 "🗹" Ballot Box with Bold Check is a typographic symbol used in digital interfaces to represent a completed or selected option, often serving as a more visually assertive alternative to a standard check mark. It typically appears as a square box containing a thick, bold check, conveying a clear sense of confirmation or agreement. This character is part of the Dingbats Unicode block and is commonly employed in forms, lists, and user interface elements where space is limited but visual clarity is needed. Its design differs from the simpler Ballot Box with Check (U+2611) due to the heavier stroke weight, making it more prominent for modern display needs. While not as widely supported across all fonts and platforms as its predecessor, it remains a useful symbol in digital communication for indicating that a task or vote has been formally marked as complete.
