oooh ok i understand what you wanted to do for the dots, in the future, if you dont want to rework your text tool, something you could do is:
choosing a specific “blank” character (like a #), and (assuming you’re using TextMeshPro) you should be able to change every instance of that character to make it have a black color (or opacity 0) pretty easily
{for example i think you could just get the text string, use .Replace(“#”, “<color=black>#</color>”)}
so yeah if you expand on it in the future ill be sure to see what it evolves into :)
again, well played <3
