How to type a "Done" symbol ?

[Anmary]

I want to type a "done" symbol also called "Tick" or "Completed" 
Can someone let me know how to? Thanks

@Anmary,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

To type ✔, the easiest way for most users is, well, to copy and paste it: ✔

Alternatively, on Windows, you can use the Alt code Alt+10004 to type it in applications that support it:

1.) Make sure Num Lock is turned on.
2.) Hold down the Alt key.
3.) Type the number 10004 on the numeric keypad.
4.) Release the Alt key, and the check mark will magically appear!

Kind Regards,

Thanks for your help. 
Alt+10004 = ¶
I will copy-paste it when needed.

@Anmary,

ALT+10004 = ✔

This is a Unicode standard and works in Windows regardless of the country, including Panama. This is because the code is tied to the Unicode character set, not a specific language or regional keyboard layout.

For the shortcut to work, you must be using a Windows PC with an active numeric keypad to type the numbers.

Thank you for your answer.
I thought I may have a pb with my new (Windows 11 Pro 64-bit Version: 26100.6584) notebook dedicated numeric keyboard.
So I ended up asking Copilot. I hope you dont mind me sharing with you what I got:

''''''''''''You're absolutely right to be puzzled, Anne-Marie—ALT+10004 should produce a check mark (✓),
but on many Windows 11 systems, especially newer laptops without a dedicated numeric keypad,
it often doesn’t behave as expected.
Here's why and how to work around it:

✅ Why ALT+10004 Doesn’t Work

• Unicode vs ANSI confusion: ALT+10004 is a Unicode character, and Windows doesn’t natively support Unicode ALT codes unless specific registry settings are enabled.
• Your result (¶) is actually ALT+20 in ANSI, which suggests the system is interpreting the input as an ANSI code, not Unicode.

✅ How to Type a Check Mark (✓) on Windows 11

Here are three easy alternatives:

1. Use Windows Emoji Panel

• Press Windows key + . (period)
• Type “check” or scroll to find ✅ ✓ ✔️....................................OK this one worked in the symbol's choice - I will use it.
• Click to insert into your document or message

2. Use Character Map............................................................................................................too slow

• Press Windows key, type Character Map, and open it
• Check “Advanced view” and search for “check”
• Select ✓ or ✔, click “Copy,” then paste where needed

3. Use Unicode Shortcut (if enabled)

If Unicode ALT input is enabled:

• Hold ALT, type 2713 on the numeric keypad, then release → ✓.................gives me Ö
• Or ALT + 2714 → ✔ ...........................................................................................gives me Ü

To enable Unicode input via registry (advanced): You’d need to modify a registry key to allow full Unicode ALT input. If you’d like, I can guide you through that safely............................................................................I would not go this far.

Thanks again.
Have a great day.

@Anmary,

Thank you for your feedback -good to know!

Incidentally, when I hold the ALT key and type in 2713 on my numeric keypad, this gives me: ╔

I like the Windows Emoji Panel method: press the Windows key + . (period)

Have a wonderful day!
