I'm looking to create a vertical ellipsis . . .
I wouldn't use periods for that. I'd use the center dot instead. It's a little bigger and averts the possibility of someone thinking it's a drag mark from a roller or some other sort of dirt. But yes, you need to set the character on three separate lines. Whether you make them separate paragraphs or just use a forced return (Shift+Enter) depends on how you have your paragraph spacing set up.
You might also reduce leading or font size if you want to compact it some more.
