What is the correct code for a "check mark" for html that is done on notepad++?
I am confused. I saw some where in anothe post where somebody wanted to know how to put a "check mark" in html. I saw two different codes for it. I put the two codes in notepad. I saved it as test.html, all text files, utf-8, on my desk top. When I went on the desk top to open it as an html doccument it was a white page with a check mark, and a check mark inside of a box. When I tried to put the two codes (not at the same time) in notepad++, save the changes, and then see how it affected in the webpage I am working on, it only showed the "box" not just the check or the check inside the box.

These are the two codes I used.

&#9745




&#10003



I tried it with and with out the ;. When I added the semicolon, it made the numbers slant italcized, but it still made only a box, once I looked inside the webpage.

Why did it do that. Did the codes that I use only work in notepad and not notepad++. If so, is there another code I can use. and I am looking for the most simple one.
