@Vinho I forgot to mention that there are a plethora of symbols you can use and Mac has a tool for exposing them. "Show Emoji & Symbols" You probably already knew this.

My zettelkasten is for my ideas, not the ideas of others. I don’t want to waste my time tinkering with my ZK; I’d rather dive into the work itself. My peak cognition is behind me. One day soon, I will read my last book, write my last note, eat my last meal, and kiss my sweetie for the last time. kestrelcreek.com
@Will I already knew – was looking for a way to find them on the keyboard to have easier access. But thanks anyway And thanks in general for your helpful, extensive, well thought through and personal posts in this forum – always a joy reading them!

Yes, easy is key to use.
The particular symbol • that started all this is a straight forward ⌥8 on the US keyboard. Pictured below is a gif that shows the System Preferences for the keyboard and what all the Option Keys translate into. I also use text replacement for some things and Keyboard Maestro's simple text replacement.
