What ◉ is for

A dot inside a ring, called a fisheye. In Japanese typography it marks list items; elsewhere it works as a selected radio button in plain text.

How to type ◉

The shortcuts below are the built-in routes. With Emoji Anywhere installed you can skip all of them and type :fisheye_circle: in any text field instead, which is the same on every platform.

macOS

No direct shortcut. Use Edit → Emoji & Symbols, or switch to the Unicode Hex Input source and type 25C9 with Option held.

Windows

No Alt code. In Word, type 25C9 then press Alt + X. Elsewhere use the emoji panel with Win + Period, or Character Map.
