Use these when a field has no list formatting, such as social bios, product titles, email signatures, chat messages and plain text notes. For a web page or document, a real list is better, because it exposes the structure to screen readers and keeps wrapped lines aligned under the text.
The standard • (U+2022) is the safest choice and displays everywhere. ◦ and ‣ suit second-level items and ▪ gives a tighter, more technical look. Arrow pointers like ► and ▸ draw the eye to a step or a key line. Check marks and checkboxes fit to-do lists and feature comparisons.
Follow each bullet with a normal space and use the same bullet for items at the same level. Avoid mixing sizes, because ● and • differ a lot. Lines that wrap will not hang under the text in plain fields, so keep items short. Some fonts draw geometric shapes larger than text, which can shift the baseline.
Bullets are for human readers only. Do not use • in CSV files, code or form fields that expect plain values, because the extra character can break parsing. The same holds for check marks. If a list will be processed by software, use a hyphen, an asterisk or real list markup instead.
Copy • from this page, or type Option+8 on a Mac. On Windows, hold Alt and type 0149 on the numeric keypad in many programs.
• is the typographic bullet (U+2022), sized for use inline with text. ● is a large geometric black circle (U+25CF) and looks much bigger.
You can, but a real HTML list is better for accessibility and layout. Reserve pasted bullets for fields with no formatting.
