If a simple check-box would do, you could perhaps use a check-box character from a font such as Wingdings: lower-case q, for example, for a simple check-box with a discreet drop shadow.



And if you don't need a number as well as the checkbox – though that is perhaps unlikely – you could set styles and enter [checkbox] [tab] at the start of each primary entry. Worth it for simpler list management <g>

Within a list item, you could only insert a symbol that exists in the current font (= the font which is being used for the list item). Since many fonts are Unicode these days, it might suffice.

Useful reminder – I'd assumed you could at least set a separate font for the bullet character.

Unfortunately no. The whole list item, at a particular level, is the same font.

But with Unicode fonts, this is less of a limitation than it used to be. :-)
