Want to Display Checked/Unchecked Checkboxes

I’m doing a comparison table, in which I’ll have checkboxes indicating whether a feature is supported or not.
I’m trying to use these codes for my unchecked and checked boxes:
& #9744; which is an empty (unchecked) checkbox: ☐
& #9745; which is checked version of same checkbox: ☑

But the checked box is getting turned into a blue checkbox image like this:

You can see live example at http://dev.solacesystems.com/checkbox-test/

Since they get turned into that pretty blue checkbox even if all of my plugins are disabled I assume it’s Enfold doing that.
Never mind, I just checked with another site I run that uses a different theme and it’s converted too.
The URL of the image being placed there is https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/72×72/2611.png which if you strip away the path leads to wordpress, so my new theory is that it’s core wordpress doing the swapout.

I wouldn’t mind if checked and unchecked were BOTH being converted to something that’d be consistent, but just converting one isn’t cool.

Appreciate any info or assistance.
