This depends on the font selected.
Not all Mac fonts have this "bullet" symbol, just as not all Windows
fonts have the yen symbol.
Look for the bullet symbols in other fonts (small, large, square,
etc ) and then use numtochar() to produce the one that is closest to
your goal. On the Mac, you will notice that the bullet is a different
size in many of the fonts.

So, I made a stack with a field containing the
Option-8 blob on my Mac; then 'pumped'
it across to my P4 Ubuntu and my headless P3
Windows XP and got:
1. A boring square on Ubuntu
and
2. A thick vertical line on Windows XP
so I am definitely going to stop using the 'blob'
[pity that, really, I rather like it]
