Bullets when uploading

I've noticed that some people manage to layout their comments when they upload things in a very nice way - often including the use of bullets.

HOW??? It's a little thing, but I'd like to make the comments I include more readable and the links to related items easier to follow.

Can you include some HTML elements? If so, is there a list anywhere? Or, like the img and B/U tags, are some of them interpreted and implemented that way?

Have I missed a help screen/file somewhere?

I know you can use <BR> and <P> but I don't how to add bullets. If we can get the info on how people are doing this, I'll add it to FAQ.

Some symbols which may prove useful:

¶·¸»Þ˚юӨ٭―•‬
┌─┬┐
├┬┼┤
└┴┴┘
░▒▓■□▪▫▬▲►▼◄◊○●
☺☻☼♥♦♪♫

So for bullet points, this should work
● Item 1
● Item 2
● Item 3
?

Hmmm...it might just be me, but dealing with these Unicode characters seems to be making IE struggle...and I wonder which symbols will work with all sorts of browsers...ah well, the bullets should be pretty safe
