Web accessible check mark

I need to add check marks (✓) to cells in a HTML table.

Can anyone tell me if using hex code is accessible, i.e. can it be recognised by screen readers? Or is there a more accessible way to approach this or is it impossible to create a web accessible check mark?

The hex code will not probably be consistent between screen readers.

To be sure, you can set the check mark as an image and use the alt attribute:

<img src="/check.png" alt="check">

This way, all the screen readers will read this as "check".
