Press [BACKSPACE with dots 3-5], [FUNCTION with X]. If the "bullet" character is the last one used, you'll be prompted "Unicode character? bullet", so hit SPACE, and you'll again see "bullet". Now, you've navigated to the "bullet" character. If you hadn't been prompted with "bullet", you could either move to the "General Punctuation" table, select it, and navigate to the "bullet"; alternatively, you could type in "bullet", hit ENTER, and you would land on the character without having to navigate to it through the table. Once you've navigated to the character, press [SPACE with K], [CONTROL with K]. You'll be told the status of the key combination for that character, meaning you'll be told if it was unassigned or, if it is assigned a combination, you'll be told the existing combination. The rest of the prompt will be "Option?", at which point you can press A to assign, R to reassign, or U to unassign. On my unit, the "bullet" character is unassigned by default, and I assume that this is the default for you as well since you're asking about creating a character combination. In that case, after typing A, you'd be asked to enter a key combination, and immediately after pressing that combination, you'll be asked to confirm it, so you would type Y. Now, at the point when you wished to insert the character, you would [press the assigned 6- or 8-dot key combination], [press FUNCTION with C, then type the assigned keystrokes].
Without going into the section numbers for each manual of the different model types, the topic to refer to here is the "Assigning a Macro" subtopic of "Extended Characters Topics" in the index of the User Guide.
