You can then use this character either in classified rendereres, rule-based renderers or in a QGIS expression, e.g. with a CASE statement. You enter the chosen character in "Layer properties" --> "Labels" --> "Label with".

or in your case probably you want to use it directly as a marker: "Layer
properties" --> Style --> Marker --> Font Marker --> Chose a character
interactively or use a data-defined expression.
