U+1F7C9 "🟉" Light Five Pointed Black Star Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
🟉
U+1F7C9 "🟉" Light Five Pointed Black Star is a symbol from the Geometric Shapes Extended block, depicting a five pointed star with a hollow or outlined appearance rather than a solid fill, resembling a lighter version of a classic black star. Unlike the standard filled star characters such as U+2605 "★" Black Star, this glyph features a more delicate and open design, often used in decorative contexts, user interfaces, or as a stylistic alternative for rating systems or symbolic representation where a lighter visual weight is desired. Its formal addition to the Unicode Standard in 2016 as part of Unicode 9.0 provides a refined, minimalist star option for digital typography and design.
