http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&fkt=&fsdt=&q=\xe2\x80\xa2&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=&sourceid=Mozilla-search

The search wasn't very helpful in finding out more about the bullet

The code you posted does something odd on my setup:

∂ This is bulleted text.

I don't know if that'll come through, here's a Wikipedia page:
