Hold down the Alt key and use the number keypad to enter the character code–that's 0252 for the plain checkmark and 0254 for the boxed checkmark. Word will display an odd character (Figure F) to display the checkmark. (You might need to press Num Lock on your keyboard.)
When you want to insert a special character, select Insert > HTML > Special Characters. From there are you presented with a few of the most common, or you can choose “Other” to view all the characters available. Simply select the character you would like to insert and the code is inserted for you.
A corresponding cross for ✓ ✓ would be ✗ ✗ I think (Dingbats).

Personally, I like to use named entities when they are available, because they make my HTML more readable. Because of that, I like to use ✓ for ✓ and ✗ for ✗. If you're not sure whether a named entity exists for the character you want, try the &what search site. It includes the name for each entity, if there is one.
As mentioned in the comments, ✓ and ✗ are not supported in HTML4, so you may be better off using the more cryptic ✓ and ✗ if you want to target the most browsers. The most definitive references I could find were on the W3C site: HTML4 and HTML5.
It's between the Z and the C on your keyboard.
I think this will help everyone.
