This emoji is useful for indicating that you've selected or completed an option from a list, like on a to-do list or in a survey. It can also mean that one step of a process is finished.

While ✅ has a feeling of final completion, ☑️ is more suitable for showing that a part of a multi-step task is done. For example, it's effective for showing progress on a travel preparation list, like "☑️ Book flight, ☑️ Reserve accommodation, ☐ Pack bags."
