Write your desire letter in MS Office Word or in Open Office Text editor by choosing menu option Insert->Symbols(in MS Office Word) or Insert->Special Character(in Open Office Text). After writing your words copy them and paste them into the Text/Caption property fields of your CheckBox.

Solution 1

Copy the character(s) you want from here...

A greek character set[^]

Place the Checkbox and click on the Text section of the properties window.
Under Text in the properties section, paste the character.

Ta da!

I just tried it and it works.

Just find out the Unicode value, or use charmap.exe to cut and paste the letters (charmap will also tell you the Unicode value)

Just use the Character Map program (Accessories->System Tools) and select from one of the Greek character sets and paste to where you want it.
