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?

@ban-geoengineering Check my answer. Its too late but serve the purpose. Live implementation over here. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sid.wifidashdow — Shabbir Dhangot, Jun 21 '17 at 09:20

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.

Do you know perhaps how to add indentation too? This is especially useful for multiple levels of bullets. – android developer Mar 18 '14 at 06:30

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.

Thanks. Any idea how indentations can be achieved - with ` ` maybe? – ban-geoengineering Aug 26 '14 at 15:40

Use
...
for indent regions. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11071127/google-play-app-description-formatting/18746972#18746972 Upvote his answer. It must have taken ages to confirm all these. – Dominic Cerisano Jul 11 '15 at 20:36

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.

Thanks, but they are all appearing as black dots to me. Also shown as black dots on your Google Play listing - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sid.wifidashdow - both when viewed on computer and on Android device. – ban-geoengineering Jun 21 '17 at 09:55
On playstore I only implemented dot. All other are examples that you can implement. Above all are supported – Shabbir Dhangot Jun 22 '17 at 04:49
