You could use (insert) another column alongside the input column, and have
that "helper" column display those characters.

Say the Y and N is entered in Column G.
Format Column H to "WingDings 2",
Then enter this formula in H1:

=IF(G1="N",CHAR(200),IF(G1="Y",CHAR(80),""))

And copy down as needed.
