Some people like to use checkmarks instead of striking out text when they have finished reading a book. Here are a couple: ✔ ✓

Just put your cursor/mouse up to the left (or right) of the symbol posted to copy it. Click the left mouse key and hold down while moving the mouse until the star is highlighted. Then right mouse click to copy.
Or, if you type (most) everything in WinWord first (before posting to GoodReads) like I do, you can use the MS Gothic or Malgun Gothic fonts. To see what is available, use the "insert symbol" command. If you don't have it, here are some the more popular for you to copy.

Some more symbols for copying.

★ ☀ ☂ ☆ ☹ ☺ ♥ ♡ ♩ ♪ ♫ ♬ ✔ ✓ ♔ ♕ ♖ ♗ ♘ ♙ ♚ ♠ ♪ ♬ ♩ ◈ ☎ ☆ ♀ ♂ ☆ ☜ ☝ ☞ ☟ ☠ ☮ ☯ ☻ ☃ ☁ ✿ ❀ ❂ ❄ ¿ ✗ ✘ ✤ ✣ ✡ ✞ ✌ ➜ ʘ ※ ⁑ ∞ ≠ + ÷ ® © º ☤ ✆

Always do a preview to see what will show and what won't.

How to enter some of the symbols with the alt key combo.

Here is a link to the such as alt+3 for ♥ and alt+1 for ☺

Be sure to use your numeric pad (as the numbers on the top row of your keyboard won’t work) and turn your num lock on and your caps lock off!

alt key combo chart .

Notice, the symbol won't appear until after your release the alt key, as the number sequence can get into the thousands.

★ solid star = Alt + 9733

✩ star outline = Alt + 9734


html codes (remove asterisks in the second position)

&*#9733; = ★
&*#9734; = ☆


Without the spaces :

& # 10047 = ✿
& # 10048 = ❀
& # 10049 = ❁

Hope it helps.

Try entering this html code:
          
If you need more than one space, just keep repeating it, without spaces.
