--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
Issue is not with the Special Character dialog implementation.

It was decided to not offer a composite font (or fill chart with fall back for
missing glyphs), so the shown glyphs correctly reflect the Unicode coverage *of
the selected font*.

You need merely select a font likely to include coverage of the glyph you are
searching for, e.g. "Segoe UI Symbol" on Windows, or the LibreOffice delivered
"OpenSymbol" font.

The search works against all blocks using the Unicode glyph name, so "CHECK
MARK" or simply "CHECK", or if you know the Unicode point simply that--"U+2713"

Following Unicode convention, we do not abbreviate or translate the Unicode
glyph names in their indexing or lookup.
