I searched for various values of list-style-type. Here are (most) of my findings using meanpath - list-style-type: cjk-ideographic http://rongsay.info list-style-type: hiragana-iroha http://tarng.com list-style-type: katakana-iroha http://トータルサービス事件.jp list-style-type: hiragana http://namakajiri.net list-style-type: armenian http://www.displayart.cn list-style-type: persian http://totp.ir ln many websites I found list-style-type declarations in the source code but when I viewed the website I could not find (easily) actual usage Tab Atkins Jr：maybe you will find more usage than I have found André Schappo
