I happened to find them in Unicode:
U+302E HANGUL SINGLE DOT TONE MARK
= single dot Bangjeom
U+302F HANGUL DOUBLE DOT TONE MARK
= double dot Bangjeom
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U3000.pdf
So they're tone marks, not emphasis marks, and you probably don't want to use the text-emphasis property[1] to render these marks.
