Default how do I create a symbol which can be used in excel

Interesting...

Will this tiny piece of VBA work on 2000??:

Sub circle_p()
With Selection.Font
.Name = "Arial Unicode MS"
.Size = 14
End With
Selection.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
Selection.Value = ChrW(8471)
End Sub

around it. I have saved this in microsoft picture manager, and can insert
it
as a picture, but it does not stay in the cell, if I make changes to the
sheet. Hope this makes sense.
