The past decade has witnessed dramatic progress related to various aspects of emergent topological polar textures in oxide nanostructures displaying vortices, skyrmions, merons, hopfions, dipolar waves, or labyrinthine domains, among others. For a long time, these nontrivial structures (the electric counterparts of the exotic spin textures) were not expected due to the high energy cost associated with the dipolar anisotropy: the smooth and continuous evolution of the local polarization to produce
