bulletpoints
Presentation list symbols
Bullet points are the dots, dashes, or symbols that mark items in a vertical list, making information easier to scan than running prose.
The term also refers to the listed items themselves: Her résumé had six bullet points under each job.
In business and presentation culture, bullet points have become shorthand for simplified, digestible information—sometimes criticized as oversimplification.
