Actually, it doesn't. Not in the way you think it does. The wikicode parser that replaces * with bullet points checks for any * at the start of each line.

Argali opened and closed a tag (it doesn't matter which tag), which does the job. What I used was a Unicde "zero width space", a symbol that behaves like space but takes no place away.

You can also use any other tag instead of nowiki, for example the span tag:
