How Star Symbols Work

Star symbols are Unicode characters recognized by virtually every modern device, operating system, and application. Unlike images that can break or resize unpredictably, Unicode stars are treated as standard text. When you copy a star symbol from this page, it works exactly like any other letter or number when pasted into Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Discord, email, documents, or any text field. The black star ★ (U+2605) and white star ☆ (U+2606) have been part of Unicode since version 1.1, making them among the most universally supported symbols.

Types of Star Symbols

Solid Stars are filled star characters perfect for ratings, decorations, and emphasis. The classic ★ Black Star is the most recognized, while characters like ✴ Eight Pointed Black Star and ✪ Pinwheel Star offer unique alternatives for creative projects.

Outline Stars provide hollow, unfilled versions ideal for pairing with solid stars in rating systems. The ☆ White Star is the standard outline star, and ✦ Four Pointed Star offers a diamond-like alternative.

Decorative Stars include ornamental variants like snowflakes ❄❅❆, sparkles ✿❀, and multi-pointed elaborate stars ✹✺ that work beautifully as text separators and bio decorations.

Asterisk-like Characters bridge the gap between punctuation and star symbols. The asterism ⁂, reference mark ※, and heavy asterisk ✱ add unique visual variety to text.
