There are many marks in print, or "upper ASCII" which have no Braille
equivalent, since Braille did not evolve beyond 6 dots, and 8 bit ASCII has
more combinations, though I am sure there are some marks, not all, including
the ASCII 151 character. :)

In Braille, the closest approximation to a bullet is represented by an
asterisk. They don't have anything strictly corresponding to a bullet.

What about bullets? Those spots that come before a line of text? Does Braille
handle them? I think the Braille use of three apostrophes to indicate an
ellipsis is interesting. Also, in print, ellipses are not always periods with a
space in between each. I have seen them as three periods squeezed into a single
space, so squished that you can hardly tell they are periods.
Oh well.
Still curious about bullets though.
