If you substitute a character, an icon, a bullet, or some funky thing like hearts, flowers, wee piglets (yes, really), the hang is never, never right. MOBI (in toto) does not like a faux-list-constructed hanging indent and it only aligns perfectly at one font size.
You can get away with it in ePUB--but not in MOBI and honestly, I never--never--recommend reconstructing a list rather than the standard HTML if we can help it for that reason. My inner control freak gets whingey when the hanging indent isn't perfect.

Not to mention the cases of readers who complain to Amazon and then the author gets told their book is being pulled until the formatting or typographic errors are corrected. In one case, the "typos" being complained about were the use of Canadian/British alternative spellings. Then we have Amazon's automated checking which seems to be more than a bit arbitrary at times. In the one case I was involved with a few years back, there seemed to be little information on exactly what triggered the warning message.
