How to Type Bullet Point on Keyboard

If you don't want to copy-paste every time, using keyboard shortcuts is much faster.

Windows (NumPad Required)

To type a standard bullet (•), make sure your NumLock is on, hold the Alt key, and type the code sequence.

  • Alt + 0149 = • (Standard)
  • Alt + 7 = • (Alternative)
  • Alt + 254 = ■ (Square)
  • Alt + 16 = ► (Arrow)

Mac Shortcuts

On macOS, the process is simpler.

  • Option + 8 = •

HTML & CSS Codes for Developers

Since you are likely building a web project, using raw symbols directly in your HTML isn't always the best practice due to encoding issues. Here are the correct entity codes and CSS styles.

SymbolHTML EntityHex CodeCSS Implementation

■■\25A0list-style-type: square;

Pro Tip: If you want to use a custom character like an arrow or a star as a list item marker, it is better to use the ::before pseudo-element in CSS rather than typing it in HTML.

Standard bullets are clean and professional, but sometimes you need something more expressive for your design or social media captions. We have prepared specific collections for those needs:

  • Need valid checkmarks, x-marks, or ballot boxes? Go to our cross copy and paste guide.
  • Building a rating system or highlighting a review? Grab the perfect star symbol.
  • For social media captions or affectionate UI elements, use our heart symbol collection.

Why Do Symbols Appear as Empty Boxes?

Sometimes, when you paste a bullet point symbol, you might see a rectangle (□) or a question mark instead of the dot. This usually happens for two reasons:

  1. Font Missing: The font you are using doesn't support that specific Unicode character. This is common with decorative or fancy arrows.
  2. Encoding Issues: The file you are working on is not saved in UTF-8 format.

If you are coding a website, always ensure your document head includes the meta charset tag to prevent these display errors.
