── WHAT IS THE BULLET POINT?────────────────────────────────────────────────

The bullet • (U+2022) is typography's list marker — a solid dot sized to sit on the text baseline and be visible without shouting. It is not the same character as the middle dot · (U+00B7), an older interpunct that separates words (and is part of correct Catalan spelling, as in paral·lel).

Because plain text has no list formatting, the bullet is one of the most-copied characters on the web: pasted into Instagram bios, YouTube descriptions, resumes in plain-text fields — anywhere a hyphen feels too flat. Unicode offers a whole family: white ◦, triangular ‣, hyphen ⁃ and the math operator ∙.

── FAQ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

[+] What is the Alt code for a bullet point?

Alt+0149 with the numbers typed on the numpad (NumLock on). Laptops without a numpad: use the on-screen touch keyboard, or Win+. and search "bullet".

[+] Bullet • vs middle dot · — which should I use?

Use • to mark list items; use · to separate inline items (like the "3 min · 2024" pattern in metadata lines). The middle dot is smaller and floats mid-x-height; swapping them looks subtly wrong in both directions.

[+] Is the bullet ASCII?

No — ASCII's closest offerings are the asterisk * and hyphen -, which is exactly what Markdown adopted for lists. • arrived in Latin-1/CP1252 and later Unicode, hence the Alt+0149 code.
