Hi! is there any method to use symbols inside a table TextShape component in Reports? Want to make a "tick mark" visible when a SQL query returns a specific value to a parameter. It doesn't seem like you can insert images, use HTML coding or Unicode to represent a tick mark. What could the next possible solution be, change to a font that symbolizes the correct symbol at the given value? surely a simple solution to something I'm stuck on. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/8/88e28f9a65a07064c87aec99d88d30563f75e6ee.png) ---

Does this help? > [@Reporting checkboxes?](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/reporting-checkboxes/17503/4): > > You can use a keychain expression. For example, to get a checked box when a number is even and an empty box when it’s odd, I can use the keychain expression @Number % 2 == 0 ? "ballot_box_with_check": "☐" @ , assuming my table has a key called Number.[checkboxes.proj](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/a/a015855451a0005d107c97d5e4c1cf1399964cbf.proj) (6.4 KB)
