What • is for
The list dot, for when you want a bulleted list inside a plain-text field that has no list formatting: a chat message, a commit message, a form. Also stands in as a separator between short pieces of metadata.

What • gets mistaken for
Smaller, and sits mid-height. Better as a separator between words than as a list marker.
Same job, different shape, for a nested level.
