You cannot add your own custom symbols to the column.

You can use formulas in a Symbols column. To do this, use the text values of the symbols. For example, to manipulate the value in a Symbols column that uses Status symbols, you might create a formula similar to the following: =IF([Percent Complete]5 = 1, "Full", "Empty"))

This list shows available symbols, the text values for symbols for use in formulas, and an image of what the symbols look like.

Select the checkbox style when you add the checkbox column to your sheet.

You can't add a star or flag to a row unless at least one other cell in the row contains data.
