    As ghobii above said, dingbat fonts are the way to go. There are dingbat font sets that have boxes, stars, bullets, just about anything you could imagine. Here’s one place to get some of them:

    By the way, you can also use the advanced character set of some of the more common typefaces to get at various symbols and shapes. Just use the Character Map utility in Windows (if you use Windows); it will show you the advanced characters that are available in a font, beyond the ABCs.
