Black Leftwards Bullet Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Black Leftwards Bullet because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+204C, which you can use as ⁌ in HTML, \204C in CSS, or type with Alt+8268 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Black Leftwards Bullet is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+204C is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Black Leftwards Bullet has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ⁌ or the hex escape ⁌.
