Star symbols to copy and paste

From rating rows to decorative flourishes, stars are among the most copied characters on the web. Unicode distinguishes dozens — filled, outlined, four-pointed sparkles, six-pointed — and mixing them carelessly shows.

This collection maps the common choices: black star for filled ratings, white star for empty states, sparkles where a little celebration is wanted. Emoji-rendering pitfalls are flagged per entry, since several stars turn into full-color emoji on phones.
