[XeTeX] How to get the French item symbol, using polyglossia

[Nicolas Vaughan]

Hi, Alain,
In Spanish there is very the same problem (and even more, since the writers
of the Babel Spanish package considered to tweak many a typographical
convention, e.g., page numbering style !!!).
Follow Fr Michael's advice.
Cheers!

Nicolas Vaughan
