The ◦ (white bullet) is a small, hollow circular symbol commonly used in typography as a secondary bullet point for nested lists. Part of the Unicode Geometric Shapes block, it provides a cleaner, lighter visual alternative to the standard solid black bullet. It frequently appears in document formatting, user interface design, and as a sleek decorative separator in social media bios.

In Programming
In markup languages like Markdown and HTML, the white bullet is often automatically rendered by the browser to denote the second level of an unordered nested list. Though strictly a typographic element, it is sometimes visually substituted for the mathematical ring operator (∘) to denote function composition.
