I am using LaTeX to write up a marking scheme for a school test.

I would like to use the checkmark character from the pifont (ding51) as a bullet point. However, I am trying to copy the formatting, and due to the requirements of the formatting I don't wish to use it in the enumerate environment.

I would like to replicate a similar environment as I have set up in Microsoft Word, where the checkmark/bullet point is set at 0 cm, and the text need to it is set with an indent of 0.6 cm (see the picture below).

If you insist on not using itemize or enumerate, I suggest using tabular or tabularx:

noindentbegintabularxtextwidthp1emX
mycheckmark & my text\
mycheckmark & more text
endtabularx

You might want to fiddle with the width of the first column, depending on what you pick for your check mark.
