Bullet points emerged from print typography as a way to mark list items clearly. The term "bullet" comes from the round shape resembling ammunition. Before digital typography, typesetters used various ornaments to mark list items. Unicode standardized dozens of bullet options, from minimal dots to elaborate decorative markers.
In digital communication, bullets serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. Functional bullets organize information hierarchically. Aesthetic bullets (stars, arrows, decorative markers) add visual personality to lists while maintaining structure. Social media bios frequently use creative bullets to separate interests or achievements.
