<buChar> (Character Bullet)

This element specifies that a character be applied to a set of bullets. These bullets are allowed to be any character in any font that the system is able to support. If no bullet font is specified along with this element then the paragraph font will be used.

example: 

<p:txBody>
  …
  <a:p>
    <a:pPr …>
      <a:buFont typeface="Calibri"/>
      <a:buChar char="g"/>
    </a:pPr>
    …
    <a:t>Bullet 1</a:t>
    …
  </a:p>
  <a:p>
    <a:pPr lvl="1"…>
      <a:buFont typeface="Calibri"/>
      <a:buChar char="g"/>
    </a:pPr>
    …
    <a:t>Bullet 2</a:t>
    …
  </a:p>
  <a:p>
    <a:pPr …>
      <a:buFont typeface="Calibri"/>
      <a:buChar char="g"/>
    </a:pPr>
    …
    <a:t>Bullet 3</a:t>
    …
  </a:p>
  …
</p:txBody>

For the above text there are a total of three bullet points. Two of which are at <lvl="0"> and one at <lvl="1">. Because the same character is specified for each bullet the levels do not stand out here. The only difference is the indentation as shown in the picture above. ]
