U+272C "✬" Black Centre White Star Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+272C "✬" Black Centre White Star is a typographic symbol that depicts a five pointed star with a solid black outline and a white interior, creating a bold, high contrast appearance. This character is part of the Dingbats block, a collection of decorative and ornamental symbols used in text for emphasis, visual interest, or as a bullet point. Its design resembles a traditional star shape but with a distinct central void, making it suitable for use in headings, lists, religious or mystical contexts, or as a generic emblem of excellence and guidance. Unlike the more common solid star symbols, the black centre white star offers a reversed or inverted aesthetic that stands out against dark backgrounds or when a striking, graphic element is desired in digital and printed materials.
