Unfortunately  the accepted answer doesn t work for me  I m using GitHub flavoured markdown   It occurs to me since we re adding HTML elements  why not just add an  lt input gt  instead    demo                                                demo     -------------------------------------------------   ----      lt input type  quot checkbox quot  disabled checked   gt  works              lt input type  quot checkbox quot  disabled   gt  works here too           This should work in any environment cuz it s plain HTML  see FYI below     FYI  this example was tested in VS Code markdown preview mode GitHub flavoured   the screenshot is also taken in VS Code preview mode  It s not exactly working on GitHub    Emoji mentioned above is a good alternative  if this doesn t work in your target environment
