Use a bullet character, \u00b7

There is no way you can do this in the way you are trying to do it.

Remember, fullstop may look as just a dot, but in reality, there is empty space above the dot. From bitmap perspective, it is as tall as any other character.

You may, however, try below 2 approaches:

Use different character instead of fullstop. e.g. "\u00B7". It looks like ·set·
Change the font size of just . (not possible in simple textview, AFAIK. Possible in rich text edit boxes.)

Set margin from top in negative(like -10dp).
