[at-l] OK, Wise Ones---

[Linda Patton]

It's going to depend on your computer and software. 
I have a PC with Windows XP and here's the directions for that combination:

To open Character Map, 
click Start, 
point to Programs, 
point to Accessories, 
point to System Tools, 
and then click Character Map.

I put a copy of that on my Desktop and named the icon "Special Characters."
When I open that, I scroll down to font "Wingdings" and there's a check mark 
symbol on the right end of the next-to-last line. Click 'select' and then 'copy' 
and you can paste into a document.
