Also, there are these functions to mark with a
particular char:  

 dired-mark-files-regexp
 dired-mark-files-containing-regexp

(They're commands, but they don't ask for the
char when called interactively.)
___

And you can just set `dired-marker-char' to
whatever char you want, anytime:

 `M-: (setq dired-marker-char ?Q)'

And then use that marker for all Dired commands.

`dired-marker-char' affects many Dired features,
even font-locking.  They just DTRT, in general.
Look for `dired-marker-char' in files dired*.el.
