Six Pointed Star Symbol ✶

This six-pointed star U+2736 is a well-filled form with straight lines. It lacks shadows, contrasting outline, and other characteristics, which is why it appears so universal and simplistic. The dingbat is frequently used as a decorative or enhancement of social media posts (for example, in headlines, nicknames, creatives, and lists).

In contrast to the Star of David, symbol U+2736 is not limited to religious or cultural-historical contexts. As a result, it appears appropriate in a variety of texts on any topic.

The symbol "Six Pointed Black Star" is found in the "Stars and asterisks" Subblock of the "Dingbats" Block and was added to Unicode in 1993 as part of Unicode version 1.1.
