The White Star symbol (☆) is one of the stars characters in the AllSymbols catalog. It is part of the family of star characters spread across the Geometric Shapes, Dingbats, and Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs blocks. Stars come in geometric forms (with a fixed number of points) and dingbat forms (decorative ornaments with thicker strokes).
For ratings, pair the solid black star (★) with the white outline star (☆) at the same size: a four-out-of-five rating reads cleanly as ★★★★☆. For decorative emphasis, the heavy sparkle or the eight-pointed star carry more weight.
In Unicode, White Star sits at code point U+2606. Web pages reference it with the HTML numeric entity ☆; CSS rules reference it as a quoted hex escape (the four-digit code prefixed with a backslash); in JavaScript and most modern source-code contexts you can either paste the literal character or use a Unicode escape with the same hex digits.
Geometric stars inherit your text color through CSS. Emoji stars render in their platform’s house color (yellow on most devices) and ignore CSS color. If you need a yellow star in monochrome text, the emoji star is the easier choice; if you need the star to match the surrounding type, the geometric star is the right pick.
If White Star isn’t quite what you need, the Stars page lists every related character on the site — including Black Star and Outlined Black Star. The related-symbols grid below also surfaces the closest sibling characters.
