What ⁃ means
It marks a list item with a short stroke.
Bullet marks have a wider typographic history: manuscript readers used pointing hands in the margins of handwritten and early printed books to flag passages. Modern bullets separate list items in notes, technical writing, reference works, and presentations.
Why does ⁃ look different in another font?
Its height and stroke depend on the font.
Typefaces can change the stroke's weight and vertical position, so ⁃ may look higher or heavier in one font than another.
How do I type ⁃?
Use a character picker or Unicode entry for the exact mark.
A standard hyphen key enters -, not ⁃. Search hyphen bullet in a character picker, or enter Unicode 2043 in a supporting editor. HTML accepts ⁃, ⁃, or ⁃; CSS generated content can use \2043.
