Is there a character that is the same size as a bullet, but open?

I'm looking for a c开发者_开发问答haracter that is just like • but an open circle (Maybe even a bigger bullet and it's open counterpart.) Does anybody know if there are such characters?

I think you could use BULLET (U+2022) and WHITE BULLET (U+25E6):

• Bullet
◦ White Bullet

If you have a look at http://www.asciitable.com/ you see some circles in the extended ascii part. (e.g. 167, 248)

String name = Character.toString((char)8226);

System.out.println("name "+name);

will work fine in java

Use this (COM­BI­NING ENCLOSING CIRCLE): ⃝

There's ASCII 186 which is the masculine ordinal indicator, or you can use the degree sign which is ASCII 176.
