A heavy check mark is a thick, filled check mark that points to the left. This flag indicates approval or that something has been highlighted green to move on to the next step in the process. You can send this emoji with OK Hand Sign emoji to show someone that their work is acceptable. This emoji can also be used to tell someone that you understand what's going on, be it plans or instructions, by sending it with the thumbs up emoji. Due to their similar usage, the White Heavy Check Mark may be used instead of this emoji.
Types of checkmarks + uses
The check mark (bird, jackdaw) is a special icon that is often used to describe confirmation of something.
Can be found in the design of listings or underlining thoughts. After reading the following instructions, you can find and use the symbol yourself.
The simplest option is to copy the object from this article. There are several types of icon:
If you need a checkbox to use in one sentence or phrase, simply copy the element you like by highlighting it and pressing CTRL and C on your keyboard.
To type a bird on the keyboard yourself, you must use Unicode. Type the letter U and +. Then you need to dial the badge code.
The digital designations for different types of checkmarks are as follows: 2713 (regular mark), 2714 (bold font), 2705 (highlighted checkmark in a square), 2611 (regular checkmark in a square).
If the combination U+2713 or another does not automatically turn into a checkmark, most likely the document is not configured to automatically recognize Unicode characters or you are entering the code incorrectly.
The text will immediately be transformed into the desired symbol, so you can safely type it in messages and various posts.
Getting a Community Tick
To get a checkmark for a group, you need to write to VKontakte support. You must describe the reason and add evidence that you are connected to the community. I note that after verification, the promotion of the group will go much faster, another question is that getting it is not so easy.
Verification rules
To pass verification, you must meet the following rules:
- the group should be in other social networks. networks;
- your community should be active;
- there should not be many links to other resources in the community;
- the group should filter comments;
- the name of the group must correspond to the name of the brand;
- the organization’s website must have an active link to a group or widget;
- if there are at least 10 fake communities on VKontakte that pretend to be a real community and have at least 5,000 members.

What does a tick mean in VK and why is it needed?
To begin with, I would like to note that we are not just another pseudo-expert who “read enough” instructions on the forums and decided to write an article on how to get a VKontakte tick. We have walked this entire path from start to finish on our own and want to share our experience with our readers.
VK checkbox for digital agency Prostudio
What does the blue tick mean in VK? If you are a media personality, a blogger, you have your own nonsense, or a large and rapidly growing agency, there is a risk that copies of your profile may soon appear. That is, third parties will perform various actions on your behalf: advertise their goods or services, sell them, promote their own brand that is not related to yours, and so on.
In order to protect your reputation, you need to get a VKontakte tick, which is provided to users who have passed the verification procedure.
Verification is a procedure that verifies your identity or “competence” of the community.
That is, the fact of having a VK checkmark demonstrates to people that your account is official and you are a “real” person, and not an attacker. In addition, verified accounts rise higher in search results.
How to get a VK tick forever? Unfortunately, no way. Official confirmation of a user or community profile is provided for one year , after which this procedure must be repeated again.
But there is good news for everyone who wants to get the coveted icon. Starting in 2021, the VKontakte service has significantly simplified the process of obtaining a tick and now almost any user has the opportunity to receive one. In other words, you don’t need to be a famous person or have hundreds of thousands of subscribers, but not everything is so simple - we’ll talk in more detail about the problems of verifying an ordinary person below.
After these changes, many users began to be interested in the question: from how many subscribers do they give a check mark in VK? Neither the administration nor anyone else can tell you the exact number. Here, several criteria are taken into account simultaneously, or more precisely, their ratio.
As a rule, when it comes to a person’s profile, there should be about 20 - 30% more subscribers than friends. There must be at least 100 friends. For the community - more than 100 subscribers.
I would also like to note that the fact of having a checkmark will be a useful criterion in SMM marketing services, since a verified page inspires more trust among subscribers.
The check mark is located to the right of the user's initials or community name. When you hover your mouse cursor over a checkmark, the following phrases appear:
- "Verified community";
- "Verified page".
A similar method was invented to ensure that the icon carries the significance of identification. That is, a copied and simply pasted checkbox will not display such information. In addition, in some cases, if you view the icon in the community profile through a computer or browser on your phone, the icon will be blue. And through the application, the color will be white.

Now you know what the checkmark next to the name on VKontakte means. Let's take a closer look at who exactly it can be useful to.
Who needs it
Previously, the VKontakte network provided the opportunity to confirm their profile only for truly significant and famous people or communities. But at the beginning of 2021, changes occurred: from now on, almost anyone can go through the procedure for obtaining the coveted icon. The most important aspect required to purchase a checkmark is the ability to verify your details. As a rule, people with the VK tick are:
- singers;
- actors;
- bloggers;
- lawyers;
- entrepreneurs;
- athletes;
- VK administration;
- IT companies and other enterprises;
- politicians;
- news communities;
- communities related to the VKontakte resource.
We looked at why and who needs this symbol. Now we will begin to analyze the most pressing issue: how to get or make a check mark in VK?
Enter a checkbox using the symbol table
There are also ways to enter this character using a character table
- a special program that lists all the objects that can be typed and displayed at the moment.
You can find it by writing the name of this program in the Windows search, then select the desired font (“Wingdings 2”) and character in the general array manually or by entering the code in the “ Find Unicode”
».
And finally, select the required object and copy it, both actions are carried out using special buttons located to the right of the “For copying” field, in which what was copied is displayed. To make work easier, you can work with a string at once, and not with a single character.
Checkbox for a group or public
Any VK community, be it a group or public, can go through the verification procedure and put the desired icon next to its name. The page requirements here are similar to those described in the previous section. However, there are some additions. For example, on the official website of a company or media person, the community on a social network must be mentioned. This could be a link, button or widget. In this case, the VK logo must be designed in the corporate style of the social network.
We recommend: How to be invisible on VKontakte
A page that has passed verification cannot under any circumstances be transferred to third parties without approval from the VK administration. In addition, changing the theme of the group is forever prohibited.
Entering a checkbox using Microsoft Word
Perhaps the simplest
one of the methods is MS Word, namely the symbol table built into Word: go to the “Insert” tab, click on the “Symbols” button - “Symbol” - “Other symbols”, then in the “Set” field select the “
Dingbats
” section.
The check mark can be obtained by finding it in the general list or by entering Unicode in a special field
at the bottom of the tab. After this, the system will automatically find the required object and all that remains is to confirm the insertion by clicking on “Insert”.
Using Unicode, a list of characters, is somewhat similar to alt code.
Specific method
depends on the program, almost all of them have a window for entering Unicode. You must understand that this type of input is only possible where it is supported, otherwise the checkmark icon will not be displayed correctly or will not be visible at all.
