Default Format cells for special characters
If the cell is formatted as Marlett font, typing an "a" will enter the
checkmark.

InsertSymbol will open a dialog so's you can see a list of fonts, characters
and the ascii number for each.

Or just StartRun "charmap" to open the Windows CharMap

I downloaded a "to do List" that has a function whereby entering "a" into the
cell, brings back the checkmark unicode character.

How is this set up?
