Here is the code:
<font size=+1 color=#009933><b>•</b></font> <font face="arial,
helvetica" size=-1><a
href="/PC/FrontDoor/0,1,0-1,00.html?st.dl.fd.cats.cat1">Business</a></font><br>
IE4.0 and Nav4.51 show a bullet while Gecko shows a funky double teardrop
thingy. Happening on Jan25 builds all platforms.

• is not a character in Unicode, which is how the number should be
interpreted. I think generally windows and mac browsers interpret these
characters differently, and they are generally used only by Windows users. The
correct solution is probably not to display them at all, or to display them as
"•" - I'm not sure which.

per leger, assigning QA contacts to all open bugs without QA contacts according
to list at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Browser
The numeric entities between 128 and 191 inclusive are mapped to the appropriate
unicode values based on some previous navigator conventions. Hence pages like
www.aol.com and your page render properly *assuming the platforms font supports
the code*. That limitation is only a short term limitation until the i18n folks
land the i18n font handling logic (currently being worked on).
