This is the first dictionary I've seen use this particular notation, but it appears to be a delimiter between the part of the word composed by the kanji reading and the okurigana.
See how for both of the words on the example page you gave, the dot appears immediately before the okurigana begin.
表{あらわ}すー>あらわ.す
表{あらわ}れるー>あらわ.れる
Searching for another word, 焼ける, gives me the same results.
焼{や}ける -> や.ける
