The ◎ (Bullseye) symbol is a geometric character consisting of a small circle centered inside a larger one. In typography and user interface design, it often represents a target, an active radio button, or a central focal point. It is also commonly used in Japanese text formatting to indicate an 'excellent' or perfect rating, acting as an elevated version of the standard circle (maru) marker.

In Programming
In technical documentation and UI mockups, the bullseye symbol is frequently used as a plain-text stand-in for a selected radio button. While it rarely has a strict default meaning in programming languages, developers occasionally use it to denote custom binary operators in algebraic math contexts.
