Re: add symbol to text title [SOLVED]

You could use an image title such as the following (lowercase 'L' in Wingdings is the character you are looking for).

<span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 24px; color: #ff0000;">l</span>

However, this will display as intended only in Microsoft browsers (Edge and Internet Explorer) and only if Wingdings is installed on the user's computer.

It would be much better to use a Unicode character so that it can be seen correctly in all browsers.
You can display a Unicode character in a web page using its decimal code or hexadecimal code.

Please see this web page for a table of Windings characters and their Unicode equivalents. Look for the lowercase 'L' in the first column in the table for the Unicode codes you'll need to use.
You can use either of the following in an image title to display a big red dot.

Decimal:

<span style="font-size: 24px; color: #ff0000;">&#9679;</span>

Hexadecimal:

<span style="font-size: 24px; color: #ff0000;">&#x25CF;</span>

Please also see this FAQ regarding using HTML formatting in image titles and captions.
