Oddly enough Chrome/Blink still has the String.prototype.blink method to create a blink tag from a string. If I recall correctly it's actually part of an ES (not DOM) standard.
I was trying to find the ES standard where it's specified but I'll settle for this[1] instead. Interestingly enough you have quite a few HTML wrapping functions as part of the spec.

<script>
var str="•";
document.write(str.blink());
