What would be the Unicode character for big bullet in the middle of the character?

Question

I want something like

0x2022  8226    BULLET  •

But bigger.

I can't even seem to find them at http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~tomw/java/unicode.html

What should I search for? Dots? bullets?

Answer 1

http://www.unicode.org is the place to look for symbol names.

● BLACK CIRCLE        25CF
⚫ MEDIUM BLACK CIRCLE 26AB
⬤ BLACK LARGE CIRCLE  2B24

or even:

🌑 NEW MOON SYMBOL   1F311

Good luck finding a font that supports them all. Only one shows up in Windows 7 with Chrome.

Answer 2

Here's full list of black dotlikes from unicode

● - ● - Black Circle
⏺ - ⏺ - Black Circle for Record
⚫ - ⚫ - Medium Black Circle
⬤ - ⬤ - Black Large Circle
⧭ - ⧭ - Black Circle with Down Arrow
🞄 - 🞄 - Black Slightly Small Circle
• - • - Bullet (also - • - Message Waiting)
∙ - ∙ - Bullet Operator
⋅ - ⋅ - Dot Operator (also · - · - Middle Dot)
🌑 - 🌑 - New Moon Symbol

Answer 3

You can use a span with 50% border radius.

 .mydot{
     background: rgb(66, 183, 42);
     border-radius: 50%;
     display: inline-block;
     height: 20px;
     margin-left: 4px;
     margin-right: 4px;
     width: 20px;
}    

<span class="mydot"></span>

Answer 4

You can search for “bullet” when using e.g. BabelPad (which has a Character Map where you can search by character name), but you will hardly find anything larger than U+2022 BULLET (though the size depends on font). Searching for “circle” finds many characters, too many, as the string appears in so many names. The largest simple circle is probably U+25CF BLACK CIRCLE “●”. If it’s too large U+26AB MEDIUM BLACK CIRCLE “⚫” might be suitable.

Beware that few fonts contain these characters.

Answer 5

If you are on Windows (Any Version)

Go to start -> then search character map

that's where you will find 1000s of characters with their Unicode in the advance view you can get more options that you can use for different encoding symbols.
