Looking for printer friendly check box

I have a printer friendly page that has a number of check boxes on it. I am looking for a character or image that represents a simple box. This will not be used on a form field, just on the printer friendly page. I do not want the <input type="checkbox"> because that prints out half shaded. I found that the character "9" in font CommercialPi BT was a reasonable solution, but some of my users have browsers that do not support this font. I am suprised to have had this much trouble finding a simple box. I appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks Dan. Can you give me hand entering that? I used VBscript Chr function because that is the only way I know to enter a character code. It does not give me a box - it gives me some character that looks a little like the letter p.
Code: 
<font size="3" face="Wingding"><%=Chr(254)%></font>

This works for me in IE5.0, 5.5, 6, and NN7. For some reason, it doesn't work in Firefox... probably something to do with the page encoding. Maybe someone else can help with that?

Code: 
<html>
<body>
	<span style="font-family:Wingdings;">&#254;</span>
</body>
</html>

Hope this helps,
Dan

Thanks again. I should have been more clear. I just want the box, not the check.
