HTML Validation error

what is valid code for a "bullet" character

[Liane]

Very basic question from a "part time" webmaster.

I currently have  • in the nav bar on all of my pages. However, it doesn't validate on w3.org in the HTML validator.

Should I:

a) remove it and replace with     (as I have just done on my home page, but no other pages - see profile)
b) leave it alone
c) use some other code that does validate

It renders ok on all browsers ... but just doesn't validate. Is this a problem or not?

If it works everywhere I'd leave it alone. I wouldn't lose sleep over offending the validation police.

There is no character at position 149 of the Latin-1 character set [htmlhelp.com] that could be referenced.

A list of entities [htmlhelp.com] supported in HTML is available here [htmlhelp.com].

or you could use

<ul>
<li></li>
<li></li>
</ul>

if you want a bulleted list.

Many thanks guys! The &#8226; should work ... but it renders black. I want it to remain the same colour as the type. Can this be done and still validate?

&bull; validates
