Sometimes you just want a character that is not a standard letter, that will show up in email or a webpage. For example, we made this handy 'Used Car Buying Checklist' without any HTML forms by simply using the Unicode character for a checkbox.
? ? ?[edit | edit source]
The standardised Unicode characters that best represent a checkbox are:
?, U+2610 Ballot box ?, U+2611 Ballot box with check If you don't have a Unicode-safe editor you can naturally spell them as ☐ and ☑.
(There is also U+2612 using an X, ?.)
