Sixteen Pointed Asterisk Symbol ✺
A form with sixteen straight rays. It resembles a snowflake, a flower, a star, or even the Sun – use it in any way that makes sense in your scenario.
The sixteen pointed asterisk, like many other early Unicode characters, has a concise and straightforward design. It's made out of thin black lines with no extraneous parts. Despite its brief appearance, the snowflake appears three-dimensional and colorful (at least brilliant) due to the abundance of rays.
The symbol "Sixteen Pointed Asterisk" 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.
