Art Welch, out PCL expert, is not around so I'll try to help you as good as I can. Disclaimer: I'm no PCL expert. I've had a look at the programmer's manual for my Brother HL-1250 which is a PCL printer. It doesn't support ZapfDingbats. Looking at PCLRenderer.java there's code that should trigger the selection of a ZapfDingbats font. But I think not every PCL printers has the same fonts pre-installed. Unfortunately, the PCL renderer doesn't support embedding fonts, so I guess you're stuck with this problem.
As a possible workaround, try to generate a little bitmap from the checkbox in an image editor and use that. I hope this helps a little.
