DescriptionThe Unicode character •, or U+2022, is named "Bullet". It belongs to the "General Punctuation" block, which includes a variety of punctuation characters not specific to any particular script or language. This character falls under the "Punctuation, Other" category. Visually, it represents a small, round, filled-in dot. The bullet is commonly used in written texts to introduce items in a list, especially when the order of the items is not important. It provides a clear, visual separation between individual elements of the list, helping to improve readability. The bullet can also be used in other contexts, such as to denote omitted letters in a word, to separate phrases or sections of text, or as a placeholder for user-defined characters. As with other symbols, the specific interpretation can depend on context.
