I want to make bullet points but I don't want the inherent blockspace/indentation that comes with the <UL><LI> usage.

Is there a way to call out the bullet without using <UL><LI>?

Hmm.

You can certainly use the character entity for a bullet but if you are representing a list then you should really be using list elements.

If you don't like the default styling of these then you should change it with CSS.

For instance

CSS:
ul {
margin-left:0;
}

will remove the left margin-indentation completely.
However this will possibly make your bullets stick out of the left edge of your text. This is actually typographically correct but you may prefer

CSS:
ul {
margin-left:1.5em;
}

Sorry, the code should have been

Code:
	ul {
			margin-left:1em;
			padding-left:0;
		}
