I have a string that contains several bullet points (•) that I need to access using the javascript indexOf method. I tried just indexOf(•) and indexOf(U+2022), the unicode value, and still am having a -1 return value.

How would I access the bullet points within the string using indexOf?

It looks like you're using the wrong unicode syntax:

someString.indexOf('\u2022');

Also, recheck that you're using the correct unicode value for the bullet within the string.
