If it's something you're going to use again and again, it can be worth 
the work (not so much, really) to use an inline object. Make a small 
square or whatever shape you want, select it, Ctrl+C, then paste Ctrl+V 
in your text frame.

It may seem inflexible as far as position, but you can align it with a 
transparent object enlarged and/or shifted, then Group the objects so 
they will copy and paste together. Once you find one you like, 
positioned the way you like, save it in the Scrapbook and you will have 
it whenever you need it on future docs.

Using this method, you aren't restricted to any particular characters or 
shapes, and could even have a multicolored one.
