Quick Accent • bullet symbol #44263
Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
Ability to insert • diameter symbol with Quick Accent when holding Shift with one or all of ., ,, - (period, comma, and/or hyphen) with the "Special Characters" language enabled.
Quick Accent can currently insert ∙ "Bullet Operator" with Shift+, (comma) but has no "Bullet" option I've found.
• Bullet (U+2022)
∙ Bullet Operator (U+2219)
Scenario when this would be used?
In environments which support Unicode but not rich-text formatting, the bullet character enables unordered lists to be created with a proper bullet punctation symbol instead of a hyphen or other workaround.
Supporting information
Environments supporting unicode without richtext formatting include LinkedIn profiles, various messaging apps, Notepad++, Windows Notepad (before the recent updates), a number of online forums, and sometimes PDF comments.
Shift with . (period) makes sense as the nearest graphical equivalent, with , (comma) makes sense as being similar call to existing bullet operator, and/or with - (hyphen) makes sense as that's how lists are written in plaintext and markdown (like Github comments).
My initial attempt to write this character used Shift+. (period), so that's my personal recommendation.
