Google Spreadshet to Type Checkmark

Question:

How to put a check mark in a Google Spreadsheet?

Solution:

Copy the following character and paste it in any cell of your spreadsheet:

✔

And you can also get this character by using script, have a look at the following screenshot:

I have the following formula in Cell A1:
=checkmark()

the above formula is a custom function checkmark() that I have written and inserted in Script.

Have a look at the following code:

///////////////////////////////////////

function checkmark() {
  return '\u2714';

};

///////////////////////////////////////

put the above code in your script editor, and then you can use it directly in your Google Spreadsheet or you can use its functionality in the Google Apps Script.

Let's have one more example, have a look at the following screenshot:

I have the following formula in Cell C1:
=if(A1>B1;checkmark();"X")

Or you can also have the following formula (without using any script):
=if(A1>B1;"✔";"X")
