Hi, I have a list of text with bullets that would appreciate having a nice check mark instead of a dot next to each item on the list.
I'm a Mac user, BTW. So, I know there is no plugin available for Mac's.
Thanks!

I don't know how to convert bullets, but I can tell you one way to use any character including checkmarks instead of bullets.
- Open the Character Viewer (my Mac is set up to use the bottom-left fn key; press the key once)
- Click on Bullets & Stars in the left panel
- In the center area, scroll down to the 4th row from the bottom
- Click once on the style of checkmark desired (Check Mark -or- Heavy Check Mark)
- In the right pane of the C

I don't think this is possible in Photoshop.
InDesign will let you use any character for bullets. Possibly also Illustrator, which I don't use.

- In the right pane of the Character Viewer, scroll through the font styles of checkmarks (34 styles for Check Mark,
4 for Heavy Check Mark) - Click once on each checkmark to display the font name (Add To Favorites if desired)
- With your cursor at the front of a line of text, double-click to insert the checkmark.
Issues:
Only bullets and numbering inserted using the Paragraph tool will cause a paragraph to wrap.
Characters inserted via Mac's Character Viewer
(1) will not wrap paragraphs;
(2) they must be manually copied/pasted at the beginning of the first line in each paragraph

To clarify for others who read this thread, this method does not use the Bullets feature that is built into Photoshop. Instead it inserts a bullet character manually at the start of each paragraph using the macOS Character Viewer.

Which I suppose should be fine for one list of a limited number of items in one image.

Doing type-heavy work in Photoshop is generally not ideal.
What volume of text/images are you processing thusly?
Would using Indesign (as recommended by @Per Berntsen ) be an option?
