    The One Dot Leader is typically used to create a dotted line in a table of
    contents between chapter or topic and page number. The Full Stop is a period
    for running text. In good typography, the One Dot Leader is usually slightly
    smaller than the Full Stop.

    When do you use U+2024 ONE DOT LEADER instead of U+002E FULL STOP?
    Is there a difference of appearance in high quality typesetting?
