Source: Browser Default
U+2743 "❃" Heavy Teardrop-Spoked Pinwheel Asterisk is a decorative symbol classified under the Dingbats block, featuring a bold asterisk-like design with four curved, teardrop-shaped spokes radiating from a central point, creating a swirling or pinwheel effect. Its heavy, solid form makes it suitable for use as an ornamental typographical element, such as a section divider, a list marker, or a decorative flourish in text and graphic design. Unlike a standard asterisk, this character’s unique shape adds a sense of motion and elegance, originally inspired by traditional printing ornaments and commonly found in modern digital fonts.
