BULLET

About this character

The bullet point (U+2022) is a typographic marker used to introduce items in unordered lists, providing visual structure in writing and document design. Its name derives from the small projectile, reflecting its compact, striking shape. Historically, typographers adopted the interpunct (·) as an early list marker, with the modern bullet emerging in twentieth-century desktop publishing. In programming, bullets appear in Markdown, HTML lists, and documentation to organize syntax and features. In design, they serve as visual anchors, guiding readers through dense information with brevity and clarity. The character is also rendered as larger dots, squares, or custom icons for stylistic variation.
