All characters that may be bullet points (e.g. "*") or "dash" points

This question is a simple point (pardon the pun):

What are all the characters that may, when starting a paragraph, be reasonably interpreted as indicating (in the Anglo开发者_StackOverflow中文版-saxon demographic) that the paragraph was meant to be a bullet point or a "dash" point.

Here are the ones I would expect, so far:

Bullets

• Asterisk: "*",
• HTML entity ⁊: "•"

Dash

• The dash: "-"
• The en-dash (–): "–"
• The em-dash (—): "—"

Are there others?

Thank you for reading.

In unicode there are lots. How about:

• Black left pointing index: U+261A ☚
• Black right pointing index: U+261B ☛
• White left pointing index: U+261C ☜
• White right pointing index: U+261E ☞

just for a quick example. Heck, there is a whole range dedicated to various kinds of arrows (2190–21FF), which can easily be used as bullet points. I guess you can start to browse unicode code pages - there are a lot of characters out there, though. I expect you'll have a hard time finding everything anybody might use.

I've seen +, >, and # used to indicate bullet points.

Dashes have a Unicode category of Pd. As of Unicode 5.2, there are 21 of these characters:

• U+002D - HYPHEN-MINUS
• U+058A ֊ ARMENIAN HYPHEN
• U+05BE ־ HEBREW PUNCTUATION MAQAF
• U+1400 ᐀ CANADIAN SYLLABICS HYPHEN
• U+1806 ᠆ MONGOLIAN TODO SOFT HYPHEN
• U+2010 ‐ HYPHEN
• U+2011 ‑ NON-BREAKING HYPHEN
• U+2012 ‒ FIGURE DASH
• U+2013 – EN DASH
• U+2014 — EM DASH
• U+2015 ― HORIZONTAL BAR
• U+2E17 ⸗ DOUBLE OBLIQUE HYPHEN
• U+2E1A ⸚ HYPHEN WITH DIAERESIS
• U+301C 〜 WAVE DASH
• U+3030 〰 WAVY DASH
• U+30A0 ゠ KATAKANA-HIRAGANA DOUBLE HYPHEN
• U+FE31 ︱ PRESENTATION FORM FOR VERTICAL EM DASH
• U+FE32 ︲ PRESENTATION FORM FOR VERTICAL EN DASH
• U+FE58 ﹘ SMALL EM DASH
• U+FE63 ﹣ SMALL HYPHEN-MINUS
• U+FF0D － FULLWIDTH HYPHEN-MINUS

Bullets are a lot more complicated, as the others have mentioned.

Even ordinary windows, code-page characters like: º+·˙̣·۰۠۟۟•▪■□►●○▬─
can be used -- Especially if CSS is used to size and position them.

.
Also, pretty much the same significance as a bullet point, but ordered, is outline notation:

1.
2.
2.1
2.1.A
2.1.B
etc.
