Which passwordchar shows a black dot (•) in a winforms textbox?
I was also wondering how to store it cleanly in a variable. As using
char c = '•';
is not very good practice (I guess). I found out the following way of storing it in a variable
char c = (char)0x2022;// or 0x25cf depending on the one you choose
or even cleaner
char c = '\u2022';// or "\u25cf"

same for strings
string s = "\u2022";

Use the Unicode Character 'BLACK CIRCLE' (U+25CF) http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/25CF/index.htm
To copy and paste: ●
One more solution to use this Unicode black circle >>
Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> System Tools >> Character Map
Then select Arial font
and choose the Black circle
copy it and paste it into PasswordChar
property of the textbox.
That's it....
You can use this one: ●
You can type it by holding Alt and typing 25CF.
Alternately, you may use this smaller one: •
You can type it by holding Alt and typing 2022.
