I have cell C3 with a drop down that says either "All" or "Role Specific"

Could someone help me with the conditional format rule so that if C3 = "Role Specific" then all cell which contain a bullet point character "•" the font turns red. If it makes a difference the • is the fourth character after three blank spaces.
I know how to set the format style to red, I just don't know the right formula.

Thank so much.
