If you run GatorGrader inside of a Docker container on Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 Enterprise, especially in the cmd prompt, there are some circumstances in which the checkmark and the xmark do not display correctly. Instead, there may be a box with various types of glyphs to indicate that the correct unicode symbol is not supported.

We should try to track down what default font and terminal combinations do not work correct and then provide instructions on how to fix this issue, if possible. If it is not possible to fix it in certain circumstances, then we might want to consider using a symbol that is more universally supported or at least provide documentation that the symbols will be wrong if you use Docker and Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise to run GatorGrader.

Can someone else who uses Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 Enterprise provide a screenshot that demonstrates this problem? Finally, I should confirm that I don't think that this is ever an issue when GatorGrader is run in Docker on either Linux or MacOS.
