What is the Unicode code point for the bullet point symbol?

The standard bullet point is U+2022 BULLET. Its decimal HTML entity is • and its named entity is •. The hex entity is •.

How do I type a bullet point on Windows?

With Num Lock on, hold Alt and type 0149 on the numeric keypad, then release Alt. In Microsoft Word, you can also type 2022 and press Alt+X to convert it into a bullet character.

How do I type a bullet point on Mac?

Press Option+8. This works in almost any macOS text field, including browsers, Pages, and Mail.

What is the difference between • and ◦?

The solid bullet (•, U+2022) is the default marker for a top-level list item. The white bullet (◦, U+25E6) is hollow and is commonly used for a second-level or nested list item.

What is the HTML entity for a bullet point?

Use • (named), • (decimal), or • (hex) — all three render the same • character in any browser.

Are the bullet variants supported everywhere?

The standard bullet (•) and black circle (●) display correctly in virtually every font. The white bullet, small square, and triangular bullet are also broadly supported by modern system fonts, but check rendering if you target a very old device or a custom font with limited glyph coverage.
