I want to insert a tick mark, maybe this: ✔
Can I do it with C-x 8 or some other way?
My environment: Latest MacOS, inside Terminal.app I start with emacsclient -nw (No gui)
Use C-x 8 RET
followed by the name of the Unicode character or its hex code point.
In this case, you probably want character CHECK MARK
, which has code point 2713
. So either of these works:
C-x 8 RET check mark RET
C-x 8 RET 2713 RET
