Frequently asked questions

How do I type a star symbol?

In Microsoft Word, type 2605 and press Alt+X for ★ (Black Star) or 2606 for ☆ (White Star). On a Mac, open the Character Viewer with Control+Command+Space and search for "star". On any device you can simply copy a star from this page and paste it.

How do I write a star rating with symbols?

Combine filled and empty stars, for example ★★★★☆ for four out of five. Because ★ and ☆ are text characters, the rating keeps the colour and size of the text around it.

What do ⛤ and ⛧ mean?

⛤ is a pentagram, an ancient five-pointed star used in many traditions, including as a symbol of Wicca. ⛧ is the inverted pentagram, often seen in heavy-metal and gothic aesthetics.

Why does ⭐ look different from ★?

⭐ is an emoji, so every platform draws it as a coloured picture. ★ is a text symbol that uses the current font and text colour, so it looks the same style as the words around it.
