Ballot Box With Check (☑) is encoded as U+2611 and has the formal Unicode name BALLOT BOX WITH CHECK. Unicode classifies it as Symbol, Other in the Miscellaneous Symbols block. Its name places it in the emoji pictograph family, which gives the page a narrower identity than the glyph alone. The code point is the stable identifier when fonts, copy-and-paste, or surrounding context make the glyph ambiguous.
Rendering Can Change Without Changing U+2611
Unicode defines the encoded identity U+2611, while the visible shape is produced by a font, emoji set, and shaping engine. Emoji platforms can redraw the same encoded character or sequence with different artwork, proportions, and color.
For identification, compare code points and sequence structure rather than expecting pixel-for-pixel consistency. Rendering can change while the underlying Unicode record stays the same.
If this is not the character you meant, use what is this character ☑? to identify the mark from pasted text, Unicode, or its visual shape.
Encoding ☑ in HTML and Source Text
U+2611 = decimal 9745 = HTML ☑ / ☑. A Unicode escape-style form is u2611. Its UTF-8 bytes are E2 98 91.
Use these identifiers in markup, source code, exports, or character diagnostics when the glyph alone is not enough.
