What this release proves

The v1 audit reconciles all 33 frozen registry entries with pinned Unicode 17.0.0 and WHATWG inputs, then publishes deterministic property-difference signatures for three standards-admitted groups.

The result covers encoded identity and declared properties for this release. It does not test appearance or establish universal interchangeability.

Registry snapshot SHA-256: a621add05d53b379acda9397a2e793a577d402a1f5d211a3c6ba2c8726da2df3

Source-constrained comparisons

Standards-documented difference groups

Each member appears in the frozen registry and each group is admitted by the exact Unicode or W3C context linked on its card. The signatures below come from the same canonical rows as the downloads.

· U+00B7 U+22C5

Middle dot and dot operator

Unicode distinguishes punctuation characters such as MIDDLE DOT from mathematical operators such as DOT OPERATOR.

Unicode-documented bullet alternatives

Unicode identifies BULLET as typical, names separately encoded alternatives, and notes MIDDLE DOT can function as a small bullet.

Reproduce the release

Method and versioned downloads

  1. 1. Freeze. Read the exact registry from commit 7c249cf and preserve each literal as a scalar sequence.
  2. 2. Resolve. Parse the pinned Unicode 17 files with range, alias, default and @missing rules; match exact WHATWG sequences.
  3. 3. Compare. Admit only groups whose in-registry members are linked by the cited Unicode or W3C passage, then derive every field difference from canonical rows.
  4. 4. Verify. Require 33 inputs, 33 outputs, zero unresolved identities and two byte-identical builds.

Limitations

  • This release covers exactly the frozen Dot Symbol registry v1.0.0, not every Unicode dot.
  • It reports encoded identity and declared properties, not glyph appearance, frequency, browser support, accessibility, security, or universal interchangeability.
  • Normalization equality does not establish semantic or visual equivalence.

Version and corrections

Release files under /releases/v1/ stay immutable. A factual correction creates a new dataset version, keeps historical URLs live and records the change by category. Send a reproducible issue to support@dot-symbol.com.

Changelog: v1.0.0 is the initial release. Source snapshots were accessed on 10 August 2026.
