03 FAQ
How do I type geometric shapes like ■ ● ▲?
Copy them from the keys above, or in Word type the code then Alt+X, 25A0 for ■, 25CF for ●, 25B2 for ▲, 25C6 for ◆. These are single characters, so they survive copy-paste into plain text.
What are filled versus outline shapes?
Most shapes come in a "black" (filled) and a "white" (outline) form, e.g. ■ vs □, ● vs ○, ▲ vs △. The names use black/white for filled/outline, not colour; the actual colour follows your text colour.
Which shape makes a good bullet point?
Small filled shapes work best: ▪ (black small square), • (bullet), ● (black circle) or ‣ (triangular bullet). Copy one and start each line with it for a tidy custom list.
