DescriptionThe Unicode character ‣, or U+2023, is known as the "Triangular Bullet". It belongs to the "General Punctuation" block and falls under the "Punctuation, Other" category in the Unicode standard. This character is typically used in text formatting, often to introduce items in a list, much like a bullet point. The triangular shape offers a stylistic alternative to the traditional round bullet point and can help to distinguish different levels or types of information in structured text. Despite its specific design, the practical usage of this character is determined largely by the specific needs of the text or document in which it is used.
