When to use it

A small separator, as in “Docs · Blog · Pricing”, and used in Catalan spelling (l·l).

In HTML, CSS and JavaScript

<p>&middot;</p>           <!-- or the character itself in a UTF-8 page -->

.note::before { content: "\00B7"; }

const s = "\u00B7";

In a page saved as UTF-8 (the default today) you can paste the character directly; the entity is only needed when it must survive a non-UTF-8 system. Encode or decode whole texts with the HTML Entity Encoder.

How to type middle dot
