Try using one of the HTML character entity codes, using either the entity code name or the entity code number.

A page I've found helpful as a good source for the less common HTML character entity codes covering additional ISO 8859-1 characters (latin-1), symbols, mathematical symbols, Greek letters, and for markup-significant and internationalization character entities can be found at: http://www.aim-higher.net/EntityReferenceViewer.asp . It shows the bullet dot code as: & bull ; or & # 8226 ; without the spaces. If this doesn't work, you might look through the chart for a substitute symbol....

HTH!
