History & usage: MEDIUM SIX POINTED BLACK STAR depicts a medium-sized, six-pointed black star. Use it for ratings or to highlight favorites. It can mark top products in catalogs, indicate featured items in lists, or signal a preferred option in menus. It also works to draw attention to milestones or achievements in dashboards or guides. In all cases, the star remains a solid, high‑contrast symbol that stands out on light or dark backgrounds. For cross-platform use, keep sizes large enough to stay legible and avoid tiny details. For accessibility, provide alternative text describing the symbol, and ensure its meaning is conveyed by surrounding context or a short label.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F7CB in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
