Do you know how to create a bullet (•) character via the keyboard? It’s easy on the Mac: just press Option 8. It’s a bit more complicated in the Windows world, but once your fingers get the hang of it, you’ll be able to do it without much thought at all.
- Hold down the Alt key
- Using the number pad, type 0149
- Release the Alt key
Step 2 must be performed on the number pad; it won’t work if you use the numbers on the main portion of the keyboard. And if this seems unduly complicated, the upside is that you can create any character this way as long as you know its corresponding ASCII value.
