Check marks in html

In the above HTML statement, a “div” element has been added with the id declared as “checkmark”.

While styling the element using the CSS properties, add an “id” selector to refer to the HTML element and then specify properties inside it:

#checkmark
{
transform: rotate ( 45deg ) ;
height : 45px;
width : 20px;
margin-left: 50 %;
border-bottom: 9px solid darkolivegreen;
border-right: 9px solid darkolivegreen;
}

The above CSS style element has the following properties:

• The “transform: rotate(45deg)” rotates the straight vertical and horizontal lines in such a way that makes the shape of a tick symbol.
• The “height” property sets the height of the tick symbol to “45px”.
• The “width” property makes the symbol “20px” wide.
• The “margin-left” property aligns the tick symbol to the center of the web page interface.
• After that, the “border-bottom” and “border-right” properties set the border weight of both the lines to “9px” and define the “darkolivegreen” color for both lines that make a complete tick symbol.

This will create a green-colored simple check mark or tick symbol displayed at the center of the web page interface “45px” high and “20px” wide:

Method 2: Inserting a Checkmark/Tick Using Unicode Characters

There are also some Unicode characters that automatically insert the tick mark symbols in the output without needing to style and define parameter values for them. For instance, the Unicode character “U+2713” helps add a simple tick symbol in the output. Similarly, the Unicode character “U+2713” helps insert the white heavy tick symbol in the output.

Conclusion

A check mark or a tick symbol can be drawn by first creating an HTML element with an id or a class and then adding the id or class selector in the CSS style element to refer to that element. To create the shape of a check mark/tick on the web page interface, different CSS properties like “height”, “width”, “rotate” and “color” can be used according to the type and size of the checkmark one wants. This blog demonstrates the method for drawing a checkmark/tick using CSS.

Checkmark Symbol – HTML for Checkmark Unicode

Kolade Chris

If you take a look at your keyboard, you’ll see that there’s no key for typing a checkmark.

You could decide to copy the checkmark symbol from the internet and paste it directly into your HTML code, but an easier way to do it is to use the appropriate Unicode character or HTML character entity.

If you are wondering what Unicode and HTML character entities are, they are both a piece of text that represents different emojis, symbols, and characters.

In your web projects, you might want to show a checkmark for the purpose of consent or agreement.

How to Create a Checkmark / Tick with CSS

A checkmark icon can be created with CSS by following these steps :

1. Taking a container element, and using its ::before and ::after pseudo-elements to create two straight lines
2. Rotate both pseudo-elements to make the element look like a checkmark

Demo

Creating the Checkmark

• A checkbox is basically a combination of two straight lines. We take a container element that would hold these two lines. Also instead of using new inner elements to create lines, we use the container’s ::before and ::after pseudo-elements.

HTML & CSS Involved

#tick-mark < position: relative; display: inline-block; width: 30px; height: 30px; >#tick-mark::before < position: absolute; left: 0; top: 50%; height: 50%; width: 3px; background-color: #336699; content: ""; transform: translateX(10px) rotate(-45deg); transform-origin: left bottom; >#tick-mark::after

Both pseudo-elements are rotated by their left-bottom corners using the transform-origin property. If we were to rotate them by the default center position, we would not get the desired effect.

Why is translation applied ? When the pseudo-elements are rotated, they overflow the container’s bounding box. To negate this overflow we translate them by a definite amount. This will be useful in cases where we need the checkmark to flow inline along with some text. But unfortunately the translation amount needs to be calculated beforehand depending on the size of the container (Please leave a comment if you manage to find a solution for this).

Why is transform not applied on the main container ? We could have applied transformation on the main container element instead of the two pseudo-elements, but the container would have been rotated outside of its normal position. This may have caused the neighbouring content to break (however transformation can be applied on the main container too depending on the use-case).

Check marks in html

Click on a tick sign below copy and paste tick symbol for check mark that most fits your text.

Copy paste a tick symbol, aka tick mark sign, check mark, checkmark for verified correct, «right» sign from here. Check marks are used to indicate the concept «yes, correct«, and denote choice.

Tick symbol meaning

Tick symbol may get rendered as an emoji icon, or a simple ASCII character. Tick symbol is not actually ASCII, but rather a wider Unicode character, but a lot of people equate those things by mistake. Whether a reader of your text will get a plain Unicode tick symbol or it’s going to get rendered as a colorful tick emoticon will depend on their OS and which exact tick character you paste into your text.

Check mark is used to mark «yes», «approved», «correct», «completed», or «I chose this» inside a checkbox. Sometimes it is used to choose items on a checklist or to check them as done. Though 🗸-type mark is used usually, x mark is another type of checkmark also sometimes used for this purpose. Most notably on election ballot papers. Dubiously, x mark is also used to indicate a «no», opposite to what the usual 🗸-type tick mark means. Oddly enough, in Finland and Sweden tick symbol may mean the opposite — incorrect, wrong. As a verb, to tick (off) or to check (off) means to add such a mark. It is quite common, especially on printed forms, printed documents, and computers (see check box), for there to be squares in which to place ticks.
