Changing the symbols shown in a HTML password field

You can't change the password masking character in the standard password field. You can fake it with a textbox, but it makes for a weak security model because you don't get the protection you do from the password textbox. As a side note, it's generally not a good idea to change the behaviour of items like this because users have become used to one form of masking, and you will be introducing a different one - if there's no good reason to do this, I'd avoid it.

Create your own font and use @font-face and font-family (and font-size) for input[type="password"]. It should help to solve your problem. But... you must create font with replaced bullet and asterisk character. All character numbers in font may represent the same character. Use google to find free program to edit vector fonts.

Never say "it is impossible". You should find a hack for your problem.

Characters to be replaced with your symbol (for Chrome, Firefox and MSIE): 26AB, 25E6, 25CF, 25D8, 25D9, 2219, 20F0, 2022, 2024, 00B7, 002A.
