Inserting Special Characters

[eagle]

Is there a way to put a special character in a heading on a grid, such as a
checkmark (asc 3882 I believe)? so that it looks like this: Check Me Ö

I got it work by declaring a property in code-behind which returns the
character your need and databinding to this property.

Thanks! Can you post the code? My grid and the columns are already bound,
how could I do both?

In the code-behind (c#):

public static string DATECOMPRESSED
{
// squared plus
get {return "\u229e";}
}

in the .aspx file:
<%# DATECOMPRESSED %>
Put it somewhere in your HeaderTemplate
