About the hyphen bullet symbol
The hyphen bullet is read or spoken as "hyphen bullet" or simply "bullet." It appears as a short, horizontal dash-like mark and functions as a typographic bullet for lists, often chosen for its compact, understated appearance. It is used in printed and digital documents as an alternative to the more common round bullet, particularly in technical writing, outlines, or contexts where a less visually prominent marker is preferred.
