XSLT Display CHECKBOX

I have a report in XML that is formatted using xslt. I need to display a checkbox next to some text. Currently this is the xslt

<TableHeaderRow>
    <TableHeaderCell  colspan="4">
        <TableCommentsText>
            &#x2610; <xsl:value-of select="/ReportForm/Comments1/Paragraph/@Text" />
        </TableCommentsText>
    </TableHeaderCell>
</TableHeaderRow>

This is not working. My output comes out blank before the text. If I use &# 174; (®) it's working fine.

What can I do to get the CheckBox?

Thanks.
