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.

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