A simple way to do this is VB.NET is like this:

lvwIndex.Columns.Item(e.Column).Text = _
strColHeaderNOArrow & " " & ChrW(&H25B2)


I tried to do the same in C# like:

lvwProvinces.Columns[e.Column].Text =
lvwProvinces.Columns[e.Column].Text + " " + '\u25BC';

however, it displays a square instead of filled arrow.

Does anybody knows what I am doing wrong?

Any help will be appreciated

Check the Webdings and Windings font families. You can change the font used
for column headers to those to show special symbols. There might be other
easier ways to do that, but this technique should apply anywhere display of
different fonts is supported.
 
Thank you,

that was the problem. I was using Microsoft Sans Serif which does not
support unicode.

Arial does.

I appreciate your help.
