99 Bullet Point Symbols – click any symbol to copy
Every symbol is a standard Unicode character – it pastes into bios, usernames, messages and documents without installing a font. Browse all 5000+ in the text symbols library.
Most places you type online have no list button – Instagram bios, LinkedIn posts, X, Discord, WhatsApp, YouTube descriptions, form fields and plain-text email. A Unicode bullet point fixes that: paste • or ▪ at the start of each line and the text reads as a list on every device. Unicode includes dozens of bullet shapes, from the standard • to triangles, squares, diamonds, arrowheads and hollow circles, and this page lists them all.
The bullets are ordinary characters, so they survive copy and paste between apps, keep their alignment in monospace fields and are read by screen readers as "bullet". Nothing to install.

Bullet Points on LinkedIn, Instagram and Resumes
LinkedIn strips list formatting from posts and headlines, so a pasted ➢ or • is how every "5 lessons" post gets its list. Instagram bios allow line breaks only from the app, so a bullet at the start of each line is the standard way to separate services or roles. In plain-text resumes and application forms, • and ▪ keep a list readable where rich formatting is removed.
Dots as Separators
The middle dot · (U+00B7) and the bullet • are also the usual separators for a one-line bio: "Designer · London · She/Her" or "Writer • Runner • Coffee". The middle dot is smaller and sits at x-height, which looks lighter between words; the bullet is heavier and more visible. Both are safe in usernames on most platforms that allow punctuation.
Typing a Bullet Point
Windows: Alt + 7 or Alt + 0149 gives • on the numeric keypad; Alt + 0183 gives ·. macOS: Option + 8 gives • and Option + Shift + 9 gives ·. On iPhone and Android, hold the hyphen key to reveal • on most keyboards. Every other shape is quickest to copy from this page.
