How it works

The dot most people mean is •, Bullet, U+2022. Beside it sit the middle dot ·, the dot operator ⋅ and the ellipsis …. After those come more bullets, leaders, dots in groups and the dots that ride above or below a letter.

Read the full guide

Four dots that look alike

• is the bullet, for lists. · is the middle dot, also called an interpunct: lighter and at mid height. ∙ and ⋅ are maths operators, and Unicode's own note prefers ⋅ to the middle dot for multiplication. ・ comes from the Katakana block and is as wide as a kana character.

Dots that ride on a letter

The combining marks attach to the letter typed before them: one dot above, one below, or two side by side. Newton wrote derivatives this way, which is why Unicode lists derivative and double derivative as other names for the dots above.

Alt+7 types • and Alt+250 types ·. Alt+249 is ∙, the bullet operator, a different character.
… is one character, U+2026. Three full stops are three. Alt+0133 or Option+; types the single one.
In HTML: • for •, · for ·, ⋅ for ⋅ and … for ….

Questions and answers

How do I type a bullet point dot?

Hold Alt and type 7 on the number pad, or 0149 with the leading zero. With the Option key it is Option+8. In HTML write •, and in LaTeX \bullet in maths mode.

What is the dot in the middle of a line called?

The middle dot, U+00B7, also known as an interpunct or interpoint. Unicode lists midpoint and Georgian comma as other names. Alt+250 or Option+Shift+9 types it.

What do three dots in a triangle mean?

Unicode names ∴ Therefore and ∵, the same dots turned over, Because. Both are maths signs. In LaTeX they are \therefore and \because, and both need the amssymb package.

Which dots make a dot kaomoji?

The faces in the last group take their eyes from ・, the katakana middle dot, from its halfwidth form ･, or from the bullet •, as in ・_・ and •‿•.

How this list was compiled: Names, and the code points they belong to, are checked against UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), and printed in sentence case. Notes that say Unicode's alias or Unicode's note quote NamesList.txt of the same version (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt), and the version a character was added in is from DerivedAge.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt). Alt codes, Option keys, HTML entities and LaTeX macros come from this family's lookup of typing methods, built from the HTML standard's entity list, the LaTeX and amssymb sources and the code page tables. That the middle dot is also called an interpunct, and that the katakana middle dot has the fixed width of a kana character, is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_dot (wikitext read 2026-09-30). The four dot faces in the last group are this site's own.
