Looking at the source, that is wrapped around yesno.

scansubs.cpp:                   && text[DisplayUnreadMessagesOnlyQ][0] && yesno(text[DisplayUnreadMessagesOnlyQ]))
scansubs.cpp:                   && text[DisplayUnreadMessagesOnlyQ][0] && yesno(text[DisplayUnreadMessagesOnlyQ]))

My guess is that you'll need to change yesnobar.js in /sbbs/exec - of
course, copy it to mods first before making any changes. 

My guess is the checkmark translates to divide on the BBS.
