Answer 1

You can use content: '✔'; only on pseudo elements, so try using the following selector:
.success-checkmark:after {
content: '✔';
position: absolute;
left:0; top: 2px;
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
text-align: center;
border: 1px solid #aaa;
background: #f8f8f8;
border-radius: 50%;
box-shadow: inset 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.3)
}
<div class="success-checkmark"></div>

.wrapper {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
min-height: 100vh;
}
.circle {
position: relative;
background: #00B01D;
border-radius: 100%;
height: 120px;
width: 120px;
}
.checkMark {
position: absolute;
transform: rotate(50deg) translate(-50%, -50%);
left: 27%;
top: 43%;
height: 60px;
width: 25px;
border-bottom: 5px solid #fff;
border-right: 5px solid #fff;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="circle">
<div class="checkMark"></div>
</div>
</div>

I found a template online to which I made modifications. Kindly check if this works for you.
:root {
--borderWidth: 7px;
--height: 25px;
--width: 12px;
--borderColor: white;
}
body {
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
}
.check {
display: inline-block;
transform: rotate(45deg);
height: var(--height);
width: var(--width);
border-bottom: var(--borderWidth) solid var(--borderColor);
border-right: var(--borderWidth) solid var(--borderColor);
}
.behind {
border-radius: 50%;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
background: black;
}
<div class="behind">
<div class="check">
</div>
</div>
