You'll probably need to buy a special font.

BUT bewa if you send your workbooks around,
the recipients must have those fonts too
Else you must distribute as PDF

You can make your own using the "Private Character Editor" included with windows.
Excerpt from the help file...
'----------------------------------
Using Private Character Editor (PCE), you can create up to 6,400 unique characters
(such as special letters and logos) for use in your font library.
PCE contains basic tools for creating and editing characters, along with more advanced options.

To open Private Character Editor, click Start, click Run, and then type eudcedit.

You can choose to link your private characters to all the fonts in your font library
(so that any font you've selected can display your private characters),
or you can choose to link your private characters only to specific fonts
(so that only the specified font can display your private characters).
