How to include a bullet point in Google Play app description?

Question

I've researched this, but only found that you can do basic formatting with < b >...< /b > and < i >...< /i > for an app description in Google Play, so does anyone know if is it possible to display a bullet (solid circle) symbol - preferably indented?

Solution 1

I don't think you can do it via HTML or unicode, but I when I type • directly into the description and save it I can see it across page reloads at least in the dev console (so at least the server has saved it into the database. Whether it displays on the frontend or not is entirely different). However, I don't be sure if it shows up on the Google Play page as that takes several hours to update.

I will edit this answer once Google Play has updated with whether or not it worked

UPDATE: It worked.

Solution 2

I had the same issue but it does seem that HTML character entites are supported. You can check this out on this link. You can insert special characters like bullets '•' (•), ® (®), ™ (™), ... etc pretty much the HTML way. This worked out for me.

Solution 3

This is not bullet but you can consider it. As there is nothing like big dot.

I used New Moon symbol in the description and its working fine. http://emojipedia.org/new-moon-symbol/

⚫ Black Circle

🌑 New Moon

🌕 Full Moon

💠 Diamond With a Dot

🔸 Small Orange Diamond

⚙ Gear

🏴 Black Flag

🏳 White Flag

▶ Play Button

⏩ Fast-Forward Button

⭕ Heavy Large Circle

✴ Eight-Pointed Star

◼ Black Medium Square

◽ White Medium-Small Square

◾ Black Medium-Small Square

⬛ Black Large Square

Also you can use full moon character.

You just need to copy and paste it over description. Below is the result.

Do you know perhaps how to add indentation too? This is especially useful for multiple levels of bullets.

Thanks. Any idea how indentations can be achieved - with   maybe?

Use <blockquote>...</blockquote> for indent regions. stackoverflow.com/questions/11071127/… Upvote his answer. It must have taken ages to confirm all these.

Thanks, but they are all appearing as black dots to me. Also shown as black dots on your Google Play listing - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sid.wifidashdow - both when viewed on computer and on Android device.

On playstore I only implemented dot. All other are examples that you can implement. Above all are supported

I always come back to this answer just to copy a bullet from here
