You could try holding the Alt key down while entering 2610 using the numeric keypad.
If this doesn't work, then the only option I'm aware of is to use Insert -> Special Character

Copy this ballot box ☐ and paste it into a Writer document. Highlight the character. Edit → Autotext → Name → Ballot → Autotext → New to create an autotext with that character and formatting. Or Edit → Autotext → Name → Ballot → Autotext → New (text only) to create an autotext with that character but no formatting. Close the dialog box. Delete the character from the document. To insert this autotext type B and press F3. Read about Autotext in the Help, in this forum, or in the Wiki.

To insert Unicode characters with the numeric keyboard on a PC read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input.
