well you can access symbols through windows, by going to start/allprograms/accessories/system tools/character map and find the special character there...

or you can use the shape tool and select custom, where there is a check mark created.. another option is to create your own.

Is this something that's going to be published or just something you're doing? I don't think there's a checkmark symbol, but they square root symbol works fine as a checkmark.

use the pen tool and make a check mark is an option as well.

actually it doesn't always display properly depending on what encoding you have for your browser. For instance, I can't see it :p

There're special fonts that have different typeset symbols. But if you're publishing this on a site it's safer to not use special characters.
