Right, because Wingdings 2 does not contain that character.  You can see 
that with the "charmap" application.  It does contain the "checked 
ballot box" glyph, but it's in the slot for the capital letter R.

There are two ways.  You can use "\u2611" in a font that contains that 
glyph, like Arial.  Or, you can use Wingdings 2 and use "R" instead.
