org-faq.org: Can I use a arbitrary character in a TODO keyword?

Yes, provided you add it to the "word" syntax in Emacs.

For example, to add the =\u25b6= and the =\u25b8= chars, just add this to
your Emacs configuration:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook
   (lambda ()
     (modify-syntax-entry (string-to-char "\u25b6") "w")
     (modify-syntax-entry (string-to-char "\u25b8") "w")))
#+end_src

Thanks to Carsten for providing this tip.
