Dingbats in formats that Calibre supports

This isn't really a Calibre question so much as a cross-format question, but you guys are smart so I thought I'd ask here:

Someone is preparing one of my books right now, and I have special dialogue marks to indicate quotations spoken by implants. In the print version, which I liked, small square boxes were used as dingbats in place of regular quote marks. Is it possible to replicate that, without a ridiculous amount of special handling, in ebook format? (Meaning, something that could, without too much work, flow into all the major formats--perhaps starting from an html file.)

I know Word dingbats are problematic. How about a small gif or other image? Or is that just asking for trouble?

Suggestions?

Thanks.
