ere's a wide choice of numbering systems for ordered lists
Page encoding has no eff ect on the symbols displayed. Setting
list-style-type
to
armenian
or
georgian
displays traditional Armenian and Georgian numbering even with page encoding that doesn't support either of
these alphabets.

if you use
disc
,
circle
, or
square
with an ordered list, the symbol is displayed instead of a number
or letter. However, it doesn't work the other way round. using one of the keywords for an ordered list with an unordered
list results in the default
disc
(solid circle) being displayed.
Caution
Some browsers support even more keywords that were originally part of the CSS2 specication, but were
dropped from CSS2.1. Figure
