Default how I can insert a "tick" symbol

I wonder if anyone can advise me how I can insert a "tick" symbol into a
cell ?

i.e, like a tick that goes in a box if something applies to you, or
whatever,

I know it is in MS word, under "windings" , but cant seem to find it in
Excel.

Many thanks

Bob

Format a cell to Marlett font.

Enter an "a"(no quotes) to get a tick mark.

Format the font for that cell with the Wingdings font and use the appropriate
character.
