I would like to set a scenario where I have a list in Column A with a value in column B. But I would like to be able to use the Wingdings symbol 252 (the Check Mark) as a character. When the check mark symbol is entered into Column C then the Column B cell will be formatted per a Conditional Formatting Scheme based on the check mark.

Is this doable?

I am aware of boxed check mark, my goal is to not have to use that version if I don't have to. I'm not a fan...per se.

Thank you!
