When I try to do this it shows up correctly but as soon as I click off the line it turns to a question mark. Any thoughts on this? I'm trying to insert a square for clients to use as a checkmark box to make a selection on a quote.

I appreciate you joining this thread, DKR3. Let me provide insights when adding a check box symbol on item descriptions in your sales forms.

I understand the relevance of enabling this symbol on item descriptions to allow customers to select an option. Currently, this isn't supported in the desktop program.

For now, I'll take note of your feedback to help improve our service and your overall QuickBooks experience. I highly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work on enhancing our product. You may personally send this idea to our program developers to work on its progress and include them in future updates. To do that:

Go to the Help menu at the top and select Send Feedback Online.
Click on Product Suggestion and enter your feedback or suggestions.
Once done, tap Send feedback.

Moreover, I'm sharing this reference to help you receive and track customer-paid invoices: Record an invoice payment.

I'll keep this forum available for any additional queries when managing sales transactions in your account. Just let me know anytime in the comments below, and I'll make sure to get you covered. Keep safe!
