White concave-sided diamond

Meaning and uses

A four-pointed sparkle with curved, pinched sides. It is a popular alternative to ✧ in aesthetic text, as in ⋆˙⟡, and comes from a block of mathematical symbols.

Unicode details

⟡ is the Unicode character named WHITE CONCAVE-SIDED DIAMOND, code point U+27E1, in the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-A block. It was added in Unicode 3.2 in 2002, and Unicode classes it as a maths symbol (general category Sm).

It is not an emoji, so it keeps the colour and size of the text around it.

It comes from the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-A block, which some fonts leave out, so a few older devices may show an empty box.
