U+066D "٭" Arabic Five Pointed Star is a typographic symbol used in Arabic script contexts, primarily as a decorative or ornamental star, often employed to mark text divisions, highlight sections, or serve as a bullet point in lists, similar to the asterisk in Western typography. Unlike the typical five-pointed star found in other scripts, this character is specifically designed to align with the calligraphic style of Arabic writing, with its points and proportions suited for right-to-left text environments. It is distinct from the more common asterisk (U+002A) and is part of the Arabic block of Unicode, encoding a character that appears in traditional and modern printed materials across the Arabic-speaking world.
