Stars & Sparkles
This category covers outlined and solid stars (☆ ★), sparkle symbols (✦ ✧ ✨) and similar shine marks. The classic star characters ★ (U+2605) and ☆ (U+2606) are plain text, which is why they follow your font color and size.
The sparkles emoji ✨ (U+2728) is different: most systems draw it in color. Text stars are handy for rating lines (★★★★☆), bullet points and decorative dividers, while emoji sparkles suit chats and announcements.
Practical Tips
- For a star rating, use solid and outlined stars of the same style (★★★★☆) so the row stays even.
- A line of decorative stars is read symbol by symbol by screen readers. Keep decoration short and put the important words in plain text.
- Text stars sometimes sit higher or lower than letters depending on the font. If a line looks uneven, try another star or change the font size.
- Use sparkle symbols sparingly. A single one at the start or end of a line draws more attention than a whole row.
