HTML Lists:

There are unordered lists (displayed with bullets: disc, circle, or square) and ordered lists (displayed with numbered bullets: decimal, decimal-leading-zero, upper-alpha, lower-alpha, upper-roman, or lower-roman). Select which bullet option to use by setting the property like this: 

ul list-style-type: square;   OR  

.circle {listj-style-type:circle;}      used with <li class="circle">item</li>
