How do I make a dashed or dotted checkmark?

An alternative solution is to use the pdfrender package. Documentation of the package can be found here. The key is to use the LineDashPattern parameter.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{pdfrender}
\newcommand{\dashcheckmark}{
    \textpdfrender{
        TextRenderingMode=Stroke,
        LineWidth=0.5pt,
        LineDashPattern=[1 1]0,
    }{\checkmark}
}

\begin{document}
    This is a dashed checkmark \dashcheckmark
\end{document}

One possibility is to use TikZ for that.

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}

\newcommand\chmdash{%
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.0012, x=\baselineskip, y=-\baselineskip]
    \fill (228,734) -- (190,638) -- (228,615) -- (242,610) -- (248,623) -- (254,635) -- (266,620) -- (277,604) -- (288,617) -- (305,638) -- (312,648) -- (305,662) -- (292,685) -- (287,697) -- (277,703) -- (239,730) -- (230,738) -- (228,734) -- cycle;
    \fill (166,608) -- (144,592) -- (141,590) -- (161,572) -- (190,558) -- (202,559) -- (216,568) -- (223,582) -- (198,600) -- (172,614) -- (166,608) -- cycle;
    \fill (318,593) -- (299,576) -- (306,563) -- (347,514) -- (353,510) -- (383,534) -- (387,537) -- (373,556) -- (347,592) -- (336,608) -- (318,593) -- cycle;
    \fill (391,496) -- (377,483) -- (452,413) -- (470,435) -- (458,450) -- (415,501) -- (408,508) -- (391,496) -- cycle;
    \fill (482,406) -- (476,396) -- (529,360) -- (538,374) -- (500,407) -- (490,415) -- (482,406) -- cycle;
\end{tikzpicture}%
}

\begin{document}
