I'm new to circuit design and reading schematics but have a little familiarity there. On this diagram which shows a circuit built on a strip board, I don't quite understand the meaning of the red-outlined white square that contains a red dot.

I'd guess that the red dot and square indicate a cut in the copper track - there should be no connection between the track sections to the left and right of that symbol. (but it would be nice to have a schematic of that circuit to verify my guess)
