About the white circle symbol
A basic, unfilled circular shape from the Geometric Shapes block. It contrasts with solid or filled circles, often serving as a placeholder, an empty selection indicator, or a neutral marker in diagrams and lists. The white circle is also used as a stylistic element in text, such as a bullet point alternative or a decorative divider, and appears in mathematical and logical notation to denote an empty set or a generic variable.
