Black four-pointed star

Meaning and uses

A slim star with four long points, often used as a sparkle. It is a staple of aesthetic bios and dividers, as in ✦ new post ✦, and it stays plain text rather than turning into an emoji.

Unicode details

✦ is the Unicode character named BLACK FOUR POINTED STAR, code point U+2726, in the Dingbats block. It was added in Unicode 1.1 in 1993, and Unicode classes it as a symbol (general category So).

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