The 156 is octal, not decimal. Anyway, you can define the font as:
BaseFont zapfdingbats = BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.ZAPFDINGBATS,
"ZapfDingbats", BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
It will use the Unicode char to map into the ZapfDingbats character, if
possible.

Now I can't follow you.
Are you referring to a page on Wikipedia saying "there is no black square"?
If so, please take a look at the attached screenshot.
I'm saying that the using unicode encoding for the black square
(http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/25a0/index.htm) doesn't work with
any of the fonts that come with iText. As in my first message, writing "\u25A0"
won't work.
Are you saying that you used the Unicode value for that black square but "it
doesn't work"?
Then you didn't consult ISO-32000-1 as advised.
Yep, I'm saying that it didn't work, and I did consult ISO-32000-1 as advised.
For the black square it says name = a73 and code = 156. Using (char)156 didn't
work either. Could you please be so kind as to tell me how exactly I consulted
it wrong?
Zapfdingbats has its own encoding, and you should consult ISO-32000-1 to find
the actual value of that black square. See the attached code sample named
SquareBullet.java
That example uses 110 which is a star according to ISO-32000-1.
Many thanks,
Annelie
