HTML Code for text checkbox

Question

Is there an HTML code for the text checkbox       EDIT  So to be clear  I need the HTML Number for the symbol    not the form element checkbox

Just make sure that your HTML file is encoded with UTF-8 and that your web server sends a HTTP header with that charset, then you just can write that character directly into your HTMl file.

http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTTP-charset

If you can't use UTF-8 for some reason, you can look up the codes in a unicode list such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters and use ꯍ where ABCD is the hexcode from that list (U+ABCD).

This will do    amp  x25a2    It is    known as a  WHITE SQUARE WITH ROUNDED CORNERS  on fileformat info   Or    amp  x25fb    as    known as a  WHITE MEDIUM SQUARE  on the same website   Two with shadow    amp  x274f   amp  x2751    as   and     The difference between them is the shadows  shape  You can see it if you zoom in or if you print it out   They are known as  LOWER RIGHT DROP-SHADOWED WHITE SQUARE  and  LOWER RIGHT SHADOWED WHITE SQUARE   respectively    You can also use   amp  x2610    which is    known as a  BALLOT BOX     A sample is at  http   jsfiddle net S2QCt 267    a note  on the Mac   amp  x25a2  is quite nice  because it is bigger and somewhat more elegant than  amp  x2610  On Windows   amp  x2610  looks more standard  while  amp  x25a2  is somewhat small

U F0FE   is not a checkbox  it s a Private Use Area character that might render as anything  Whilst you can certainly try to include it in an HTML document  either directly in a UTF-8 document  or as a character reference like  amp  xF0FE   you shouldn t expect it to render as a checkbox  It certainly doesn t on any of my browsers   although on some the    unknown character    glyph is a square box that at least looks similar   So where does U F0FE come from  It is an unfortunate artifact of Word RTF export where the original document used a symbol font  one with no standard mapping to normal unicode characters  specifically  in this case  Wingdings  If you need to accept Word RTF from documents still authored with symbol fonts  then you will need to map those symbol characters to proper Unicode characters  Unfortunately that s tricky as it requires you to know the particular symbol font and have a map for it  See this post for background   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  amp  x2610  and  amp  x2611     There is also U 2612 using an X
