verified-this really shouldn't work, but there's some bizarre hackery for presentational HTML (<font face>). If you're able to use CSS to do styles, you should be using Unicode character references (&#number;) for this sort of thing, AIUI.

You can look up the correct numbers to use here: http://www.unicode.org/charts/ If you want a check mark you look under the Dingbats table: http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2700.pdf ...and find that it is U+2713 or U+2714 (for a heavy one). You then use it in HTML like this: ✓

So this basically renders the use of dingbat fonts like webdings and wingdings — the only fonts that contain some symbols that come pre-installed on Windows (at least on XP) — all but impossible, as those fonts don't use proper glyph mapping.
