Nope, I don't think I'd prefer a bullet (what do others say?).

Since you mentioned "pinning", I checked if unicode got any pushpins:

http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1f4cc/index.htm
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1f4cd/index.htm
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1f4ce/index.htm

Sadly, my browser can't display any of them, thus I think I got no suitable font
(and they don't really look all that great either).

So some squares then:

■  □  ▢  ▣  ▪  ▫  ▬  ▭

I'm not saying that I prefer one of these over your glyph, I'm just presenting
the options that I found. :-)
