What to call circles or dots on a surface of a dice? A dice has six sides and there are one to six circles or dots on each side. I am curious if there is any specific word in English to call them?

The dots on a die are called "pips." People often just call them "dots," though. pip Pronunciation: (pip), [key] —n. 1. one of the spots on dice, playing cards, or dominoes. 2. each of the small segments into which the surface of a pineapple is divided. 3. Informal.metal insigne of rank on the shoulders of commissioned officers. 4. Hort. a. an individual rootstock of a plant, esp. of the lily of the valley. b. a portion of the rootstock or root of several other plants, as the peony.

Something to pay attention to: one die, two dice. "A dice" is not logically possible.

One way to say it would be dimples. It is the same with golf balls.
