[edit] How to use the 
in a text line or table?
A check mark can be placed in a text line as a picture. Instead of using the long IMAGE tag ( [[Image:Check_mark_23x20_02.gif]] ) to bring/place the check mark, use the shorter template code/tag: {{Check mark}} for , (or use {{Check mark-n}} for 
), which is easy to remember and really displays the check mark in all browser, as the unicode equivalent check mark is not supported yet by all web browser software, so most people see a blank rectangular box, question mark, etc depending on their browser. To use the "X mark", use {{X mark}} template code for 
, (or, {{X mark-n}} for 
). Simple capital letter "X" can also be used instead of the "X mark" (or, Cross mark). Even more shorter code {{U2713}} can be used to display 
an inline check mark character. ~ Tarikash.
[edit] Left-handed ticks
Is it worth mentioning that left-handed ticks are sometimes right-to-left on the upstroke?--Knowledge33 21:41, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
