Replacing the ellipsis with three dots

Hi I’m not 100% sure I understood your question correctly but give this a try if you want to replace that excerpt […] with anything you want. You can use this hook to manipulate that. Where “More” is after the &nbsp you can use what ever you’d like or even use CSS to change it’s styles. Paste this in your functions.php and edit it to fit your needs.

function new_excerpt_more( $more ) {
    return ' <a class="excerpt-dot" href="'. get_permalink( get_the_ID() ) . '">' . __('>&nbsp;More', 'your-text-domain') . '</a>';
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more' );
