I created this web page which includes some bullet points. I managed to sort out the hanging indent requirement by reading the help file - but for the bullet point graphic I just used a character from my Windows Character Map.

Because the bullet point is just a plain old ASCII character, I'm conscious of the fact that it probably won't look the same on someone else's system. On my (English + Windows) system it looks like a forward facing arrow head - but presumably it might look totally different on a non-English system or a non-Windows system.

Apart from using a number for the bullet index, are there any recommendations for creating bullet points so they'll look the same across different platforms?
