How to write/type inverse bullet symbols/emojis on keyboard- Alt + 8

May 19,2017 in Keyboard Shortcuts | 0 Comments

In typography, an inverse bullet symbol or inverse bullet point, is a glyph or typographical symbol used to introduce items in a list. For example:

◘ Point 1
◘ Point 2
◘ Point 3

The bullet symbol may take any of a variety of shapes, such as circular, square, diamond, or arrow. Typical word processor software offers a wide selection of shapes and colors. Several regular symbols, such as * (asterisk),  (hyphen), . (period), and even o (lowercase Latin letter O), are conventionally used in ASCII-only text or other environments where bullet characters are not available. Historically, the index symbol  (representing a hand with a pointing index finger) was popular for similar uses.

Lists made with bullets are called bulleted lists. The HTML element name for a bulleted list is “unordered list” because the list items are not arranged in numerical order (as they would be in a numbered list). Usually, bullet points are used to list things.
