Creating a checked box

Long time FOP user here...  First off, "Many Thanks to The FOP  
Team".  You guys have made me look like a miracle worker time and  
time again!

My question --

Am using FOP to simulate a filled out paper form as my client starts  
the long move toward a paperless system.  The form has some  
checkboxes and I would like to create the look a "checked box".

I can use the ZapfDingbats font family characters &#x274F; and  
&#x2714; to create the box or the check-mark.  But would like to  
overstrike the various boxes with a check-mark as driven by the data  
xml.

I can live with a check-mark without the underlying box, but this  
would be really cool if I could pull the checked box off.

Really don't want to use an external graphic of a checked box.  I  
want this XSL to be as self contained as possible.
