Hi Faraz

Change the font in the cell to Wingdings

Hold down the Alt key and type 0252 using the keypad

Regards

Steve

There are quite a few of them.

You may want to look at Insert|Symbol (xl2002+)
or
windows start button|Run
type
Charmap
and hit enter

to find the one you like.

=char(252)
in the wingdings font is nice.
