I'm with Chris on this.

Unless you are working in Unicode, the choice of the appearance
of any 'special' character you pick will depend on the font and/or the
codepage.  So this *might* look okay to you and still look like garbage
to someone else.  Like your boss.  Which would be bad.

I think you need to choose another way of doing this, so you will
not be subject to the whimsy of the machine it is displayed on.

HTH,
David
