I want to insert a tick mark, maybe this: ✔

Can I do it with C-x 8 or some other way?

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
