Windows Alt codes may require a numeric keypad and Num Lock. Laptop keyboards, browser fields and regional layouts can behave differently, so copying is the dependable fallback.
What it is for
When to reach for •
The bullet marks list items in fields with no list formatting of their own — profile bios, spreadsheet cells, chat messages. It is also used as a separator between short items on one line.
Getting the shortcut to work
The Windows code needs the numeric keypad with Num Lock on — the number row above the letters will not work. On a laptop without a keypad, use the copy button above or Windows Character Map.
Easily confused
