\set noChordSymbol = –

You can give any string or (more generally) markup; in recent versions, 
no quotation marks are needed.

If you want to change it globally:

\layout {
  \context {
    \ChordNames
    noChordSymbol = something
  }
}

BTW, I'm a bit surprised to find the definition of noChordSymbol in 
ly/engraver-init.ly at \Score level instead of at \ChordNames level. 
Maybe there's a good reason for this, but maybe not: engraver-init.ly 
deserves some cleanup anyway (I did a bit of this in a local branch 
which I never got around to polishing).
