    There are also, including combining middle dots (most of these listed at
    U+00B7):

    U+0387 GREEK ANO TELEIA
    U+05BC HEBREW POINT DAGESH OR MAPIQ
    U+2022 BULLET
    U+2024 ONE DOT LEADER
    U+2027 HYPHENATION POINT
    U+2219 BULLET OPERATOR

    What is U+2027 intended for? The name suggests that it might be what is
    needed for Catalan.
