create a Tick symbol in HTML table

Question

I want to output a tick symbol (like a check mark in American English) inside the elements at the end of each row in my table (that's going in an eamil to be displayed on windows pc's running IE 8 and IE 10)

I have tried several different ways of doing this, with no luck.

Here is my HTML:

<td align="centre" style="font-family: wingdings; font-size:150%;font-weight:bold; font-color:green">&#10004;</TD>

I did try some of the suggestions here on SO: 658044 but have had no success

what am I doing wrong?

Dont know what your issue is, but ie9 and ie10 works fine, can not test ie8 since jsfiddle doesnt seem to support ie8 properly http://jsfiddle.net/2hHVq/ — Andrew Liu, Jan 09 '14 at 22:39
it just prints a blank in the table cell - what font-family should I use? — Our Man in Bananas, Jan 09 '14 at 22:42
Does it work in other browsers? Could u post a more complete HTML/CSS - there could be other styles overwriting inline one — Yuriy Galanter, Jan 09 '14 at 22:46
Works for me: http://jsfiddle.net/rKMw8/2/ What browser are you using? — Kallewallex, Jan 09 '14 at 22:51

you can use one of these codes:

<td align="center" style="text-align:center; font-size:150%; font-weight:bold; color:green;">&#10004;</td>

or

<td align="center" style="text-align:center; font-size:150%; font-weight:bold; color:green;">&#x2714</td>

although center is correct. you can remove one of text-align:center; or align="center" optionaly, as you want.

You are using unicode, no need for a font family. Also, the style property is color, not font-color.

<td style="font-size:150%;font-weight:bold;color:green;">&#10004;</td>
