The key term is you want is "Character Map"

For the Mac follow these steps
Mac OS X character map and keyboard viewer.

First, open System Preferences and show the International settings pane (in the top row of icons). Second, select the Input Menu tab and check the Keyboard Palette checkbox. Check the menu box that reads "Show input menu in menu bar". Now you will notice an icon in your system's top menu bar, probably the U.S. flag. This the input menu.

Hi Jim,
I had set the flag in my menu bar (the French one) but
thanks a lot for the following information I never paid attention to ; that's a very useful part of OSX actually; magnifique ;-))

When you click on the menu you can select "Show Keyboard Viewer" and the palette will open, allowing you to select a font and hold down Option, Shift, Command keys to view keyboard combinations.
Extra bonus functionality:
While displaying the Keyboard Viewer, change your font in the document and the keyboard viewer will type in that selected font, showing the high-ascii symbols accordingly.

--------  very cool part of OSX
Choose Character Map from the Country Flag in the Mac menubar and explore how it will show you all of the fonts that contain a particular character and what it will look like. You can drag and drop chars from the listings to add them to your documents.
Even allows browsing of unicode char sets and specifying the iso-set

For a bullet character, choose view 'all characters', then click on Punctuation triangle, then 'Punctuation', then scroll down to the triangular bullet, the bullet, and the white bullet (a unicode char) Click on the 'bullet' char and below you will see the 70 or so fonts that have that character. Choose 'Modern' instead of 'Containing selected character' and you will see about 35-40 fonts that have a bullet character.
