How can i show "a Tick" or "a Cross" for a boolean value in model admin?

details
I have a boolean on a dataobject

When i show this in model admin
it intially showed up as 0 or 1

I've got to to say True or False instead

what i would like is an image instead.

However it actually prints out the html so i end up seeing

<span class="somestyle">True</span>

public static $db = array(
	'ShowIcon' => 'Boolean',

 
public static $summary_fields = array( 
       'ShowIconNice' => 'Active',
  	   'Title' => 'Title',
  	   'FooticonThumbnail' => 'Thumbnail'     
   );
  

public function ShowIconNice(){
$trueorfalse ="nope";
//get value of boolean
$tfVALUE = $this->ShowIcon;
//set  result
$trueorfalse = $tfVALUE;


if($trueorfalse == 1){
$trueorfalse = '<span class="somestyle">True</span>';
} else {
$trueorfalse = "False";
}

return $trueorfalse;
}

Have you tried $casting the value to Text or Varchar?
