pass alt code combination as parameter

Question

I have a simple method that accepts a string:

private void drawTextboxValue(string text)
{
    // lots of code
    g.DrawString(text, font, brush, layout);
}

I should pass alt code "Alt 0149" as the string so it will draw a bullet point (see: http://duena.telenet.be/ALT_toetsen_lijst.htm ).

I know you could draw something else to achieve this (an ellipse for example), but for some reason I'm not allowed to do that - I'm only allowed to pass another parameter to this method.

How can I achieve this?

You can write Unicode characters in C# here is an example

string a = "\u0149";

The escape code \? (where dddd is a four-digit number) represents the Unicode character U+dddd. Eight-digit Unicode escape codes are also recognized: \\Udddddddd
