Bullet point symbol • copy and paste

The grid starts with the true typographic bullets and moves on to shapes, arrows and checkboxes that also work as list markers:

• Dots: • (BULLET), ◦ (WHITE BULLET), ∙ (BULLET OPERATOR), · (MIDDLE DOT), ● ○ ⦿ ⦾ ◘
• Dashes and pointers: ‣ (TRIANGULAR BULLET), ⁃ (HYPHEN BULLET), – (en dash), ⁌ ⁍
• Squares and diamonds: ▪ ▫ ■ □ ◆ ◇ ❖
• Arrows: ➢ ➤ ► ▸ ▹
• Checks and stars: ✓ ✔ ☐ ☑ ★ ☆ ✦ ※
• Emoji bullets: 🔹 🔸 ▶️ 👉 📌 ✅

Search by English name, for example square, arrow or check, to jump to a style.

Where	How
Windows	Hold Alt, type 0149 on the numeric keypad, release Alt. Alt + 7 also works in most desktop apps.
Mac	Option + 8
Microsoft Word	Type 2022, then press Alt + X
Linux (GTK/IBus)	Ctrl + Shift + U, then 2022, then Space
iPhone	Tap 123, then #+=; the • key is on that page
HTML	• or •
CSS content	\2022

Alt codes need a numeric keypad with Num Lock on; the number row above the letters won't do it. On a laptop without a keypad, copy the bullet from this page or use the emoji panel (Windows + .). Most Android keyboards also have • on their second symbols page.

Social posts, profile bios and many comment boxes have no list button, so a pasted bullet is the only way to get a tidy list:

• Start each line with the same bullet and one space, for example • Free shipping.
• Press Enter after every item so each one gets its own line.
• Keep items short; long lines wrap and the bullet loses its job.

Emoji bullets such as 🔹 or ✅ grab attention, which suits a short list of benefits, but five colorful icons in a row can look busy. For a calm look, use the plain • or ▪. For to-do lists in notes apps, ☐ for open and ☑ for done reads clearly even without real checkboxes. Screen readers announce these characters by name (for example “bullet” or “ballot box”), which is one more reason to stick to one marker instead of mixing several.

Bullet	Good for
•	Any everyday list
◦	Second-level items under a • list
▪	Compact lists, technical notes
‣ or ⁃	A lighter, typographic alternative to •
➤ or ►	Steps, calls to action, highlights
✓ or ✔	Features, benefits, completed tasks
☐ / ☑	To-do lists and checklists
※	A note or remark (common in Japanese text)

Watch the look-alikes. The middle dot · is smaller than • and is mainly a separator (as in Main St · Suite 4). The bullet operator ∙ belongs to math. Mixing them in one list makes the markers look uneven, so copy the same character for every line.

In a document or on a website, a pasted bullet is a workaround. A real list keeps the indentation when text wraps and tells assistive technology how many items there are:

• Word and Google Docs: use the Bullets button in the toolbar; Word also lets you choose any symbol, such as ➤, as the bullet.
• HTML: use a <ul> list with <li> items. CSS list-style-type sets disc, circle or square, and modern browsers also accept a string, such as list-style-type: "▸ ".

If you need the character itself in code, the detail panel gives you the HTML entity, the CSS escape (\2022) and the JavaScript escape (\u2022). Collect several bullets and lines in the text box at the bottom of the page and copy the whole list at once.
