It all depends on how it is run. If stdout (where printed characters go) goes to a terminal that understands how to print the checkmark, a checkmark will appear. If this is a program people will be running from CMD, they will see the question mark. If people run the program by double clicking the exe, they don't see anything, so it doesn't really matter.
If you turn this into a GUI application you don't have to worry about things like what terminal is used to run my program. That is a lot of work just to make a green checkmark appear, but it is something to consider.
