In typography, a bullet is a typographical symbol or glyph used to introduce items in a list, like below:

• This is the text of a list item. Notice the bullet to the left.

• This is a different list item, and so there is another bullet.

This line is part of the second list item; there is no bullet.

It is most conveniently used in technical writing or reference works to introduce a series of related items. They may be short phrases or of paragraph length. The main point is that all need to be tied together under a general heading. Bulleted items, commonly called "bullets", are usually terminated with a full stop.

The bullet corresponds to Unicode character 0x2022. In HTML, the codes &bull; and &#x2022; give • and •, respectively. <li> may also be used. Unicode also defines a triangular bullet ‣ (U+2023).
