Richard:

No, that's not what I meant. I know how to convert DEC <-> HEX.

What I was talking about is called a NCRs, or Numeric Character References

One could use the Unicode DEC value directly, such as:

    &#8226;

or the Unicode HEX value directly, such as:

    &#x2002;

Note, either will produce a bullet in most browsers.

But &#8226; is almost-for-sure *ONLY* going to "look right" on MS IE.

Not true, for most (and all most current) browsers do render that glyph correctly (other glyphs may vary), please review:

The first bullet is &149; (same as ALT 0149 on the windoze keyboard).

The second is &#8226; and third is &#x2002;

Note all three produce a bullet -- oh and don't forget &bull;, which will produce the same result.
