Added -- the section is "Can I use a arbitrary character in a TODO
keyword?" 

Thanks for the tip,

Most likely this is because the second character has
syntax "word", while the first does not.  The regular expression
matching TODO words for font-lock expects the TODO keyword
to have word syntax (at least the first and last character of it).

Try this:

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook
   (lambda ()
 (modify-syntax-entry (string-to-char "\u25b6") "w")
 (modify-syntax-entry (string-to-char "\u25b8") "w")))


Matt, maybe this information could go into the FAQ?

This does not answer your question, but I remember a long time ago I saw
some screen-shots of org-mode where some keywords were changed to icons
(png images, I think). The screen-shots were pretty, but I don't know if
the project was further developed or not.

Here a thread about it

[O] problem with utf8 todo keywords

[harven]

Hi,

I use emacs 23.2.1 together with org 6.33.
I am trying to add the character ▶ as a todo keyword with no success.

Starting with emacs -Q, I execute the following 
code in the scratch buffer
(setq org-todo-keywords
'((sequence "\u25b6" "ok")
  (sequence "\u25b8" "ok")))
Then I open a simple .org file containing

* ▶ first
* ▸ second

Only the second keyword is highlighted. 
Why is it not the case with the first keyword ?

Thanks,
