Probably the easiest and most compatible way is to make a .gif image of the character you want. Then use:

.bul {list-style-image: url(broketbullet.gif);}

Then, at the appropriate list:

<ul class="bul">
...
</ul>

Note that if you have a sublist inside the list with the custom bullets, you will need to create another style to return the bullets or numbers of the inner list back to the proper kind.

You can try this in css file :

.list ul { background:url(images/imagename.gif) center left no-repeat;
padding-left:15px;
list-style:none;
}

and use div class list in your html file like this :

<ul class="list">
<li>text</li> 
<ul>
