Stars
Star symbols from outline ☆ to filled ★ plus sparkles ✨ — copy stars for bios, ratings and usernames.
Stars range from tiny five-point outlines to glowing emoji sparkles. They are a favorite for aesthetic bios, rating displays and username decorations.
Mix outline stars (☆ ✦) with filled stars (★ ⭐) to create contrast in decorative text.
Not every star is equal. ★ and ☆ have existed since the earliest Unicode blocks, so they render on virtually every phone, game and browser. The fancier four-pointed stars like ✦ and ✧ come from the dingbats block and are almost as reliable.
The emoji stars — ⭐ 🌟 ✨ — are a different story. They always render in full color, ignore your font style, and occasionally get filtered out of usernames entirely. Discord allows them in display names; some games do not.
One more tip: stars pair naturally with divider lines. A row like ─── ⋆ ─── uses nothing but two characters repeated, and it survives copy-paste into any plain-text field.
