I am using:
XEP, Client Edition, Version 3.4, April 30, 2003.
I was using an older docbook.xsl (v 1.22 2003/04/1), so I downloaded
docbook-xsl-1.61.3. The result is better in that I just have a blank (not an
outlined rectangle) where the ✓ should be.
Any further suggestions?
Thanks. Tara

It is a valid character, but you don't mention what tools
you are using to process the files. I can get ✓
to show up in the pdf when I use this toolchain:
docbook-xsl-1.61.3
saxon 6.5.2
fop-0.20.5
