Frequently asked questions
Why do Translators need a quick way to type •?
bullet (•) (•) shows up across the texts Translators produce daily, and rebuilding the keyboard layout for a single character isn't worth the friction.
Will • survive copy-paste into Word, Docs and email?
Yes. The character is stored as Unicode, so Translators can paste it into Word, Google Docs, Outlook, Gmail, Notion or any modern editor without corruption.
What if my font shows • as a box?
