I setted Delta symbol to column header of DataGrid like this

<s:DataGrid width="100%" height="100%" rowHeight="43"
            sortableColumns="false"
            color="0x929698"
            borderVisible="false"
            dataProvider="{model.gridOperationDataCollection}">
    <s:columns>
        <s:ArrayList>
            <s:GridColumn> headerRenderer="ru.prognoz.iup.renderers.OperationIndGridHRDelta"/>
        </s:ArrayList>
    </s:columns>

<s:GridItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
                minWidth="21" minHeight="21">

<mx:Text htmlText="\u0394 {label}"
         color="0xA2ACB2"
