What 🔘 means

A round button with a dot in the middle, modeled on the radio buttons in web forms and settings menus. People send it to mark a choice, a list item, or a simple option to pick.

Bios and posts use 🔘 as a bullet point in front of each line. In polls and playful quizzes it stands for "select one", next to a ⚪ for the options not chosen.

The name comes from old car radios, where pressing one preset button popped the others out, so only one could stay selected.
