Hi everyone,

I'm writing some documentation for a form design product and I'm working on
a section related to putting radio buttons on forms. I need to discuss the
little dot in the centre of the button that indicates when the radio button
is selected.

Does anyone know if there is a proper term for this symbol? If not, what
would you call it?

Thanks,

Andrea Kelso
