Something I noticed when I read President Trump's latest TS post. He does not use the shorthand version of the ellipsis "..." which is three consecutive periods, he uses the actual ellipsis "…"

Truth Social: 108583385700082431 So Cassidy Hutchinson was all set and ready to go to Florida with the Trump Team long after January 6th. She knew I did nothing wrong. She was a big Trump fan - but my people didn’t want her. What happened? Why did she so dramatically change? All lies. I guess even she didn’t believe her own bull….!
Short story, searched QAGG and found over 250 Q posts with the same exact "…." an ellipsis followed by a period. Maybe more people are using the actual ellipsis these days? Could this be an unintended(?) proof, may just be too early and I need caffeine?
Is the ellipsis a different Unicode point than a period? If so then look at how does one typically create an ellipsis, particularly on a mobile device?
I'm really not sure about on a mobile, I mainly use my phone mainly to talk to people and I do most of my online communications on a desktop. In Windoze I press ALT+0133 to get an ellipsis.
Could also be a spell check thing.
Pretty sure “bull….!” Is meant to say “bullshit!”
Some systems may autocorrect the three periods to an ellipsis. In particular word processors. Which might mean that the posts have been compiled in a word document prior to posting.
Libreoffice does this autocorrection.
