 Some people use bullet points in their titles as decorative punctuation.

 "Fancy Title • Amazing"

 This bullet point is passed into the page slug which breaks some
 applications (like facebook links)

 fancy-title-•-amazing

 which would be better rendered as

 fancy-title-amazing

 In formatting.php this bullet character should be added to the list of
 special_chars to filter out.
