Question
As the title says, I'm trying to find a way to add a text-shadow effect for a bullet. I'm using text-shadow to show a light glow behind some text, and I'd like to accomplish this same effect for bullets without having to create my own bullet image.

UPD: You really can use unicode charachtest for special symbols this is quite tricky but there is good article which can help http://css-tricks.com/css-content/
OTHER TIPS
Your best bet would be to use pseudo-element to insert a bullet and a bullet symbol (• or any other that would fit you). Since it would be a textual content, the text-shadow would work perfectly on it
Here is an example — http://dabblet.com/gist/4356335 — with a bit of extra styles to make the inserted bullet work.
Another option would be to to use pure CSS bullets. Something like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>CSS Bullets</title>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
html, body {
font-size: 16px;
}
article ul li {
position:relative;
overflow:hidden;
list-style:none;
padding-left:20px;
line-height: 1.35em;
margin: 0 0 .5em 0;
}
article li:before {
margin:-8px 0 0;
background:#ededed;
overflow:hidden;
list-style:none;
content:"";
position:absolute;
top:0.95em;
left:0;
width:7px;
height:7px;
border-radius:2px;
-webkit-border-radius:2px;
-moz-border-radius:2px;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 5px #888888;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<article>
<ul>
<li>Bullet 1</li>
<li>Bullet 2</li>
<li>Bullet 3</li>
</ul>
