U+1F7CA "🟊" Heavy Five Pointed Black Star Unicode Character

U+1F7CA "🟊" Heavy Five Pointed Black Star is a solid, stylized five pointed star symbol, distinct from the standard asterisk or the outlined star characters found elsewhere in Unicode. It belongs to the Geometric Shapes Extended block and was introduced in Unicode version 7.0 as a design element for use in decoration, emphasis, or as a graphical marker. Because of its bold, filled appearance, it is often employed in digital interfaces, documents, or social media to draw attention or indicate a special rating or significance without the negative space seen in lighter star symbols.
