Create three vertical dots (ellipsis) inside a circle - html

Question

I want to make a circle <div>, like this image:
I have tried this code.
.discussion:after {
content: '\2807';
font-size: 1em;
background: #2d3446;
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
border-radius: 100px;
color:white;
}
<div class="discussion"></div>
How can I do this correctly?

Answer 1

You could just use :after pseudo-element with content: '•••' and transform: rotate. Note that this is the bullet HTML special character •, or \u2022.
div {
position: relative;
background: #3F3C53;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
color: white;
border-radius: 50%;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 15px 1px #4185BC;
margin: 50px;
}
div:after {
content: '•••';
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%) rotate(90deg);
font-size: 15px;
letter-spacing: 4px;
margin-top: 2px;
}
<div></div>

Answer 2

Improving on Nenad Vracar's answer, here's one that doesn't use text (so it's font-independent) and everything is centered nicely:
div {
position: relative;
background: #3F3C53;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
border-radius: 50%;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 15px 1px #4185BC;
margin: 50px;
}
div:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
width: 2px;
height: 2px;
margin-left: -1px;
margin-top: -1px;
background-color: white;
border-radius: 50%;
box-shadow: 0 0 0 2px white, 0 11px 0 2px white, 0 -11px 0 2px white;
}
<div></div>

Answer 3

Yet another answer, same as others except:
it uses the vertical ellipsis character (U+22EE)
text-align and line-height to center the content
does not use any pixel value
.discussion:after {
content: "\22EE";
/* box model */
display: inline-block;
width: 1em;
height: 1em;
/* decoration */
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #000000;
border-radius: 50%;
/* center align */
line-height: 1;
text-align: center;
}
<div class="discussion"></div>
<div class="discussion" style="font-size: 2em;"></div>
<div class="discussion" style="font-size: 3em;"></div>
<div class="discussion" style="font-size: 4em;"></div>
Note that U+2807 is actually a Braille pattern and the dots are not supposed to be centered.

Answer 4

Use this code.
.discussion {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
border-radius: 50%;
position: relative;
background: #2d3446;
}
.discussion:after {
content: '\22EE';
font-size: 1em;
font-weight: 800;
color: white;
position: absolute;
left: 7px;
top: 1px;
}
<div class="discussion"></div>
Hope this helps!

Answer 5

I hope this is what you wanted! Otherwise feel free to ask.
.discussion{
display: block; /* needed to make width and height work */
background: #2d3446;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
border-radius: 100px;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
.discussion:after {
content: '\2807';
font-size: 1em;
color: white;
margin-left: 15%;
}
<div class="discussion"></div>

Using text dots
.discussion{
width:50px;
height:50px;
text-align:center;
background-color:black;
border: 2px solid red;
border-radius: 100%;
}
.discussion text{
writing-mode: tb-rl;
