How to make your own list bullet in HTML

Almost any sign, character, or symbols can be turned into a list bullet. The only condition obligatory is that it must be rendered by fonts. To do this, the pseudo-element ::before is applied to the tag <li>. Let me show you an example.

HTML

<ul class="plan_na_jizn">

<li>First, don't give up and don't give in.</li>

<li>Secondly, love everybody and smile.</li>

<li>Thirdly, find and lose again.</li>

<li>Finally, give up and give in.</li>

</ul>

CSS

/* remove all that was there by default */

.plan_na_jizn { list-style-type: none; }

/* add your own */

.plan_na_jizn li::before { content: "\2765"; }

This “\2765” css is the code of the turned heart which is written on its page in the tab “Technical information”. Now we have it instead of dots.

• First, don't give up and don't give in.
• Secondly, love everybody and smile.
• Thirdly, find and lose again.
• Finally, give up and give in.

The party doesn't have to be over with this collection. Check out other collections. Unicode offers a huge variety of symbols that are able to serve the same purpose.
