The keyboard has many symbols on it, most of which can be typed by holding down the "Shift" button while typing another key. One relatively common symbol that does not appear on the standard keyboard, however, is the check mark. Check marks can come in handy when typing certain documents that contain bullet points or lists. But even though you can't type a check mark symbol from the keyboard itself, you can still copy an existing check mark and paste it into your document.
