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.
