I'm just trying to figure out how to insert a bullet, but not as part of a bulleted list. Just the bullet character. I tried the glyph browser but had no success. Was that the right place to go?

Thanks!

On Windows, it's a character you can insert holding the key "Alt" and typing on the numeric pad: "0149". Stop holding the Alt key, and it should appear.
I can't remember on Mac, but you can use the virtual keyboard and press the modifier keys (Shift, Option, Ctrl) alone or together until the bullet appear on one of the virtual key… or hit Option + 8.

Thanks! Since I didn't have a numeric keypad, the easiest way for me to get there was: Glyph Browser, then filter to General Punctuation and that includes the bullet and only about 10 other chars. Cheers, -ub

In the Glyph Browser, type “bullet” (without the quotes) into the Search box.
You will then see the bullets in that font, if there are any (sometimes there aren't, depends on the font).
Double-click on any of the bullets to insert it into the text.
If you need to insert the same things often, perhaps from a symbol font, use the Lock icon (top-right) to lock the Glyph Browser to the font and traits you’ve set.

P.S. In a similar fashion, you can also search for “quot” to get all of the quotation marks.
