It's not exactly pretty, but you can use a description list while
resetting it to the itemize environment, like:

#+ATTR_LATEX: :environment itemize  
  - \Checkmark :: foo

That produces:

\begin{itemize}
\item[{\Checkmark}] foo
\end{itemize}

At least, that works for me (I have not yet upgraded to Org 9.0;
so I don't know if this will continue to work, though I don't know of
any reason why it shouldn't). 

Hope that helps!

Best,
Richard
