The ◎ bullseye is a geometric target mark useful for emphasis, focus, and selection.
U+25CE
◎ is the Unicode “BULLSEYE” symbol from the Geometric Shapes category. It’s commonly used as a clean target-style indicator in text, UI, and design elements.
Bullseye Symbol Meaning
The bullseye symbol ◎ (Unicode U+25CE) visually suggests a target, center, or “hit.” In everyday use, it often communicates accuracy, focus, or selection—such as pointing to the most important item, marking a correct answer, or highlighting where to look. Designers may use it as a simple emphasis icon because it reads clearly at small sizes and doesn’t rely on color. In interfaces, it can represent confirmation or a “target reached” state, especially when paired with other UI text. While it can resemble a classic shooting target, its most common role is plain emphasis and selection rather than any specific cultural reference.
