Usage
Bullets are most often used in technical writing, reference works, notes and presentations. Example: Where are bullets most often used?

An alternative method is to use a numbered list.

Bullet points
Bulleted items known as "bullet points" may be short phrases, single sentences, or of paragraph length. Bulleted items are not usually terminated with a full stop if they are not complete sentences, although it is a common practice to terminate every item except the last one with a semicolon, and terminate the last item with a full stop. It is correct to terminate a bullet point with a full stop if the text within that item consists of one 'full' sentence or more.

Computer encoding and keyboard entry

The standard circular bullet symbol () is at Unicode code point U+2022. As an HTML entity, it may be entered as •, •, or • Unicode also defines a U+2023 U+25E6

WHITE BULLET, a U+2043 HYPHEN BULLET, as well as a U+2219 BULLET OPERATOR for use in

TRIANGULAR BULLET, a

mathematical notation primarily as a dot product instead of interpunct. However, semantics normally requires that bulleted items be achieved with the appropriate use of the <li> tag inside an unordered list (<ul>). Such lists may be denoted with leading asterisks in Wikipedia markup as well as in many other wikis.[1] In the Windows-1252 and several other Windows code pages, the standard circular bullet character is at 149 (decimal). To input this Alt code in Windows, press and hold Alt+0149 on the numeric keypad). The bullet symbol is also generated by Alt+7 in GUI applications, but Alt+7 in a Windows text interface (such as a Win32 console application) it generates (the bell character). Also, it can be confused with bullet symbol in code page 437 and other OEM code pages (see #In historical systems section). On Mac OS X, pressing Opt+8 inserts a bullet, while pressing Shift+ Opt+9 inserts the similar interpunct ().

GTK+ applications on Linux support the ISO 14755-conformant hex Unicode input system; hold Ctrl+ Shift while tapping U, then type 2022 and press Enter to insert a or hold Ctrl+ Shift while tapping U, then type B7 and press Enter to insert a midpoint.

In historical systems
Glyphs "", "" and their reversed variants "", "" became available in text mode since early IBM PCs with MDACGAEGA graphic adapters, because built-in screen fonts contained such forms at code points 710. These were not true characters though, because such points belong to C0 control codes range and, therefore, these glyphs required a special way to be placed on the screen; see code page 437 for discussion. Prior to the widespread use of word processors, bullets were often denoted either by a lower-case o filed-in with ink or by asterisks (*), and several word processors automatically convert asterisks to bullets if used at the start of line. This notation was inherited by wiki engines.
