U+269D "⚝" Outlined White Star Unicode Character

U+269D "⚝" Outlined White Star is a typographic symbol depicting a five pointed star drawn with a thin outline and a hollow or white interior, which distinguishes it from solid filled star characters. It is part of the Miscellaneous Symbols block and was added to the Unicode standard in version 5.1, released in 2008. This glyph is commonly used in contexts such as decorative design, rating systems, bullet lists, or as an alternative to the more familiar filled star symbols. Its open, outlined form can also serve as a visual indicator for concepts like clarity, emptiness, or a choice that is to be filled in or selected.
