Tick Symbol 【Meaning and Symbolism】

The tick mark symbol indicates that something has been confirmed following evaluation. Although it is not included on the actual keyboard, if you are typing on a document in Microsoft Word, you may simply insert it using the dialog square, a symbol, or a keyboard shortcut.
The word “tick mark”  is often used in Indian English while in American English it’s called a “checkmark”.  If we look back at the history the tick mark symbols were an indication of completion on ancient Babylonian tablets. Those tablets had a little groove on them which were probably made using a pen. Those grooves were normally on the left of a worker’s name, apparently to signify if the indicated share had been provided.

How To Add Tick Symbols in PDF?

It appears to be a straightforward task: check a box. But it’s not that simple when you have to tick a box on a PDF form. That is, of course, why you are here. So, here’s what you’re missing out on.

Download Acrobat Reader DC if you don’t already have it. Launch it after installation and open the PDF you need to fill out. When you hover the mouse cursor over the “fountain pen nib” that shows the label Sign document by entering or drawing a signature. You’ll see a variety of alternatives along the menu bar at the top of the page. This brings up the “Fill & Sign” menu bar. Ignore any suggested signatures and instead click the Tick symbol.

The approach is quite similar if you’re dealing with a PDF on your iPhone or Android phone. You will need to download the free Adobe Fill & Sign app. After that, press the Select a form to fill out the icon and navigate to the PDF file you wish to alter.

Navigate to the location on the form where you wish to put a tick, then press and hold that position until a selection appears. Then click on the tick sign, and one will be added to the box. If anything isn’t in place, tap and hold the tick until a huge circle appears around it. Now, move the tick to the appropriate place.
