U+2729 "✩" Stress Outlined White Star Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
✩
U+2729 "✩" Stress Outlined White Star is a decorative symbol featuring a five pointed star with a white or open interior and a thick, stressed outline that gives it a bold and slightly uneven appearance, reminiscent of a hand drawn or stamped design. It falls within the Dingbats range of the Unicode standard, often used in digital writing and graphic design to add visual emphasis, mark notable items, or convey a sense of approval or special status. Its distinct name "Stress Outlined" refers to the deliberate variation in line thickness around the star's contour, which sets it apart from more uniform star symbols like the regular black or white stars.
