While this is already answered, here's an alternative solution: add a unicode checkmark symbol. There are two of them: \u2713 and \u2714. Just add them to your strings:

<string name="button_label_on">\u2713 on</string>
<string name="button_label_off">off</string>

Of course, you can put this directly into your layout code, too:

<Button
   ...
   android:text="\u2713 on"
   />
