Myriad Pro font does not contain the checkmark glyph. Viewing the entire glyph 
set can be done here:

http://www.fontshop.com/fonts/singles/linotype/myriad_pro_regular/?&fg=000000&bg=ffffff&sample_size=36&sample_text=&ft=liga&acs_pt=32

Instead of Window's character map utility, might consider BabelPad for 
viewing/searching glyphs and fonts as it offers more features/friendlier too. 
When viewing Myriad Pro, it does not show support for the checkmark glyph that 
Windows does. Another method is viewing the Glyphs palette in InDesign.

It would be interesting to know why Window's character map indicates 
otherwise...

"Myriad (being a proper unicode font) simply doesn't have that checkmark glyph."

The Unicode character is 2610. Whether Myriad Pro really contains that 
character or not is an open question.

"Windows 7 character map is misleading as it seems to display replacement 
glyphs from other fonts"

Windows 7's Character Map doesn't always fill in missing characters from other 
fonts, there are lots of OpenType fonts where it shows
U+2610 as missing, e.g. Verdana.
