Show tick symbol on label

Question

How can I show \"√\" (tick symbol) in label text?

Answer 1

This should work as well:

<asp:Label ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="&#8730;"></asp:Label>

Answer 2

The Extended ASCII code for that symbol is 251.

You could probably also do,

char c = '√';
Console.WriteLine("{0}", c);

Answer 3

This code will do it for you:

LblTick.Text  = ((char)0x221A).ToString();

Edit:

or even easier:

lblTick.Text = "\u221A";

Edit 2:

And, as pointed out in a comment, that code (221A) is actually a square root symbol, not a tick. To use the true tick mark, you can use the following:

lblTick.Text = "\u2713";

or for a heavy tick mark, you can use the following (but you may get font issues with this one):

lblTick.Text = "\u2714";

(Credit to @Joey for that comment!)

Answer 4

You can also use

lblTick.Text="\u2714";
