Ah, something I haven't known before.

I suggest
$\cdot$
You could put this into a macro, for example.
Alternatively, you might enter a full-width `・' character (all CJK
encodings have this, I think).

This I can't answer. Under X11, I can input a real center dot with
`<compose> . -', regardless of the used input method. However, you
have to use UTF-8 input encoding and thus the CJKutf8 package to make
it work without switching input and/or font encodings.
