How it's used
Refers specifically to a small, circular mark or point, often used in technical or design contexts. While it describes a physical dot, it is less common in casual speech than simply using 點 when referring to punctuation or general spots. It is most frequently encountered when describing UI elements, patterns, or specific markings on a surface.

Common mistake
Avoid using this for abstract concepts like a 'point' in an argument or a 'spot' on your skin, as it strictly denotes a small circular shape.
