Every symbol is a standard Unicode character – it pastes into bios, usernames, messages and documents without installing a font. Browse all 5000+ in the text symbols library.
Stars are the universal symbol for a rating, a highlight or a little decoration, and Unicode has more of them than any keyboard shows: filled and outline five-pointed stars, four-pointed sparkles, circled and pinwheel stars, asterisk-style stars and the emoji stars. This page lists all of them, grouped so the aesthetic ✦ ✧ ⋆ sparkles and the classic ★ ☆ rating stars are easy to find.
Because every star here is a text character, it pastes into bios, usernames, captions, reviews, spreadsheets and documents without breaking anything. The plain stars stay the same on every device; the emoji stars (⭐ 🌟 ✨ 💫) are drawn in colour by the phone or browser.

Types of Star Symbols
Five-pointed stars (★ ☆ ✩ ✪ ✫ ✬ ✭ ✮ ✯ ✰) are the rating and award family. Four-pointed stars (✦ ✧ ✨ 💫 ⋆) read as sparkles and are the backbone of the "aesthetic" bio look. Six- and eight-pointed stars (✶ ✷ ✸ ✹ ✺ ❂ ❉ ❊ ❋) are decorative asterisks from the Dingbats block. The emoji stars (⭐ 🌟 ✨ 💫 🌠) are colour pictures and stand out in captions and messages.
- ★ ☆ – filled and outline stars for ratings (★★★★☆) and names
- ✦ ✧ ⋆ – four-pointed sparkles for soft, aesthetic bios
- ✩ ✪ ✫ ✯ – outlined, circled and pinwheel stars for decoration
- ✶ ✷ ✸ ✹ ✺ – multi-pointed asterisk stars for dividers
- ⭐ 🌟 ✨ 💫 – emoji stars for captions, reviews and status lines
- ☀ ☼ ☾ ☽ – sun and moon symbols that pair with stars
Star Ratings in Text
A five-star rating written with characters – ★★★★☆ – works in any comment box, review site, spreadsheet or tweet, and it is read aloud sensibly by screen readers ("black star, black star, …"). Use ★ for filled and ☆ for empty. For half stars there is no single character; most people write ★★★½ or use 4.5 in text.
Aesthetic Sparkle Patterns
The four-pointed stars are the most-copied characters for Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest bios. Common patterns are ✦ name ✦, ⋆｡°✩ name ✩°｡⋆, and a sparkle divider ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* between lines. Mix one sparkle style with a script or small-caps font for a coordinated look rather than combining every star at once.
Typing Stars Without Copying
Windows: Alt + 9733 gives ★ and Alt + 9734 gives ☆ on the numeric keypad; Win + . opens the emoji picker for ⭐ and ✨. macOS: Ctrl + Cmd + Space, then search "star". Phone keyboards only include the emoji stars, so the text stars ★ ☆ ✦ ✧ are usually copied from a page like this.
