Sheldon, you could try converting the tick to a shape. Select just the tick & choose Arrange /Convert to Editable Shapes. It will no longer be text but an image on publishing.

The tick mark on this side of the pond is used for dimensions: foot and inches.And is different from quotation marks, or curly quotes.

But I take your point that you Tick off a list of items. But our end, we Check off a list of items.

So all this depends on which side of the Atlantic Lisa resides.

Neither, New South Wales so it is sleepy time there.

Chris M could have a word; he's only in the next state up.

Just to further confuse the issue:

You can also 'tick' off someone = make them angry.

or

Obtain something on 'tick' = getting it free with a promise to pay later.

There's also the 'tick' in a clock = tick-tock

The English language is great

And appropriately enough, the word tick contains ick ick ick. Horrid Lyme disease carrying pests.

You are hilarious. It was a tick symbol I downloaded from the Xara symbol set and it must be FontAwesome because I keep getting a warning which I should read next time it comes up.
I managed to create a tick (for artistic reasons) using Webbings 2 font instead which I'm happy with.
Over here, we have bandicoots just brimming with ticks, yuck.
Thanks everyone.
