How do I use bullet point Unicode in markdown?

2024-09-16

Short version

You can directly use Unicode characters for bullets, e.g., •, to create bullet points.

• First item
• Second item

• First item • Second item

Markdown supports the use of Unicode characters, allowing users to customize their bullet points instead of using the standard * or - characters.

To implement Unicode bullets, you simply type the Unicode character before text. Here are examples of bullet characters:

Example usage:

• First item
◦ Subitem
■ Important point

This renders as:

• First item ◦ Subitem ■ Important point
