The bullet symbol (•) is a typographical mark primarily used to introduce individual items within a list. In the Unicode standard, it serves as the definitive list marker, distinct from the smaller middle dot (·) or heavy mathematical operators. You will frequently see it organizing information in word processors, presentation slides, and social media bios to make text easily skimmable.

In Programming
While markdown and HTML usually generate bulleted lists automatically via asterisks or `<li>` tags, developers often use the raw bullet character as a decorative separator for inline navigation links and footer items.
