U+1F7B0 "🞰" Medium Five Spoked Asterisk Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
🞰
U+1F7B0 "🞰" Medium Five Spoked Asterisk is a typographic symbol introduced in Unicode version 7.0 as part of the Geometric Shapes Extended block, designed to serve as a decorative or functional star-like glyph with five symmetrical spokes radiating from a central point. Its medium weight distinguishes it from heavier or lighter asterisk variants, making it suitable for use in diagrams, maps, or as a marker in lists and annotations where a visually balanced, non-bold star symbol is needed. Despite its specific name, it is not included in standard keyboard layouts and is primarily accessed through character maps, code input, or copy-paste from character reference tables.
