So if you wanted to have the following in your drop down menu with one
that was indented, how might you do it? I haven't found anything that
works and am hoping for ... TIA

A conclusion is the place where you get tired of thinking.

It depends on what the setup is. If the Kittens is in say a div,
then a left margin or a left padding might be appropriate. If it
is a list item, then there is also these possibilities.

Have I jumped into the middle of a thread here? Is there a url?

No, that wouldn't do it. It does not create "=" and ">". This would:

&nbsp;=>Kittens

On the other hand, the OP is apparently trying to generate a navigational
dropdown menu. That's a wrong approach. "Links want to be links."

Followups trimmed.

No-one seems to have mentioned text-indent yet.

.selected { text-indent: 1em; }
.selected:before { content: "=>"; }

Might not work in IE.

O yeah!

It plays tricks (or should I say "played") tricks in MacIE. There
is this about WinIE, it may be of interest:
