MATLAB: checkmark in MATLAB figure with LaTeX interpreter

Question

In my figure I have a text annotation using the LaTeX interpreter, and it doesn't recognize \checkmark because MATLAB doesn't have the amsmath package.

Are there any ideas for a workaround? Perhaps I can have part of the text box interpreted with LaTeX, and part of it without? In that case I could use this solution.

Or even switch to a wingdings-like font, print the appropriate character with it, and switch the font back to the original? — Rody Oldenhuis, Jul 10 '13 at 07:32

it's not pretty, but might be good enough:

xlabel('$\surd$','interpreter','latex')

or look here for other things that look like a tick http://detexify.kirelabs.org
