The inimitable Discipulus notified me of a Perl Monks username of a mere Dot (aka Period aka Full Stop).

I naturally felt obliged to concoct a suitable emoji for this surprising PM user . - hence this reply.

After scouring the Unicode Full Emoji List, I found three alternatives, illustrated below with a traditional kcott Perl Monks greeting:

G'day ․,

G'day ⚫,

G'day 🕳,

Which one do you prefer? Alternative emoji suggestions welcome.

Output using kcott's uparse tool

~/pm/kcott$ ./uparse-2.pl ․
============================================================
String: '․'
============================================================
․       U+2024   ONE DOT LEADER
------------------------------------------------------------
~/pm/kcott$ ./uparse-2.pl ⚫
============================================================
String: '⚫'
============================================================
⚫      U+26AB   MEDIUM BLACK CIRCLE
------------------------------------------------------------
~/pm/kcott$ ./uparse-2.pl 🕳
============================================================
String: '🕳'
============================================================
🕳       U+1F573  HOLE
------------------------------------------------------------
