Bullet point (•): copy and paste
The bullet (•) is a typographic dot that marks items in a list. It is a real character, so you can paste it into places that have no list formatting, like Instagram bios, tweets, résumé builders and plain-text fields.
Put one space after the bullet and start each item on a new line. In apps with proper list formatting (Docs, Notion, Word) use the built-in list instead so items indent and wrap correctly.
