12 — History
Where the ☑️ Check Box With Check emoji came from
This one is older than Unicode emoji: Japanese carriers were drawing it on their handsets years before the standard existed, which it finally joined in 2010.
Long before Unicode had emoji, Japanese carriers shipped their own picture sets.
☑️ existed there as
KDDI au EB02.
Those codes are why it survived into the standard at all — Unicode had to keep Japanese messages readable.
Check Box With Check was approved as U+2611 U+FE0F and shipped in Emoji 0.6 (2010). Emoji 0.6 is the original 2010 batch that came over from the Japanese sets.
Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so ☑️ is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
