The symbol "Bold point" is a special character used when editing electronic documents. It has many interpretations. Typing the appropriate character using the keyboard is problematic. The thing is that it is simply absent on the keyboard panel. Therefore, further we will consider all existing methods for printing bold dots in text editors. Let's study possible action algorithms using the example of Word.
Text formatting
There is no thick dot on the keyboard. But you can insert a regular point, and then edit it. In this case, the symbol at the bottom of the line appears in the text.
To implement the task you need:
- Switch keyboard layout to English.
- Click on the "Yu" button.
- Select the appropriate character.
- Click RMB and in the drop-down list click on the font.
- Set the value to "Bold" in the menu that appears.
- Confirm action.
Usually this technique is not used in practice. But there are many alternative solutions to the task.

The symbol "Fat point" is most often found in the design of bulleted lists. For this option, you will have to use not the insertion of characters, but the formatting of the existing text.
How to do it? The user will need:

- Click RMB and select the "Lists" command.
- Go to the "Labeled" tab.
- Click on the thumbnail with dot markers.

Windows and its services
The Bold point symbol can be inserted into text files in different ways. For example, some users work with a service called "Character Table". It is needed to study unique characters and their further insertion into the text.
The instruction for the implementation of the task has the following interpretation:

- Click on "Select" and then on the "Copy" button.
Now what? It remains to open a text document, then select the place to print the character and click RMB + "Insert" / "Control" + M (in Russian).
Text editor options
The bullet symbol is printed differently in the text. The main thing is to understand exactly how to act under certain circumstances.
The following tip is more widespread. We are talking about the built-in "Word" features. For example, the option "Insert a character."
How to use it? In our case, the user must adhere to the following algorithm of actions:

This technique will help you quickly insert the mentioned character into a text document. It is in great demand among users and does not require any special skills or knowledge.
ASCII Codes
You can set a thick point on the keyboard using special codes. They are called alt codes. This is the numeric identifier of the symbol; all Windows signs have it.
To print a thick point, you will need:
- Open a text document. It is recommended to immediately place the cursor in the place of the intended print.
- Press the Num Lock button. The corresponding identifier should light up on the computer.

Unicode to help the user
The "Fat Point" symbol is sometimes inserted into the text using Unicode. To do this, you need:
- Write U + 25CF.
