    soonix, Danke for the wikipedia reference! Made me realise I'd just scratched the surface. Speaking only one language, I've always been a long way behind folks from Rockenhausen, Germany in Unicode knowledge and experience. :-)

    For some reason, I only looked at unicode.org and not wikipedia like I usually do ... so thanks for the motivational prod. After checking some wikipedia references, I've found a couple more:

    G'day ◉,

    G'day ⦿,

    Though not strictly a dot, I quite like the look of a dot highlighted inside a circle.

    Output from kcott's uparse tool:

    •       U+2022   BULLET
    ⦿      U+29BF   CIRCLED BULLET
    ◉      U+25C9   FISHEYE
    🕳      U+1F573  HOLE
    ⚫     U+26AB   MEDIUM BLACK CIRCLE
    

    👁️🍾👍🦟
