Star Symbol
This page lists 98 star symbols, each a Unicode character with a code point and a name of its own, not a letter of a star font.
Eight words in a Unicode name put a character on this page
A character is selected for this page when its Unicode name has one of eight words:
- STAR or STARS
- ASTERISK, ASTERISKS or ASTERISM
- SPARKLE or SPARKLES
- PENTAGRAM
Only a whole word counts, and a name that also has the word EQUALS is passed over. The names are read from the Unicode Character Database (Unicode 16.0.0). The rule selects 101 characters.
Only symbols are selected. The asterisks that Unicode classes as punctuation, U+002A ASTERISK among them, are not on this page even though their names have the word.
Star, asterisk, sparkle or pentagram: four groups that share nothing
The rule's own words sort all 98 into four groups, and no character is in two of them. Five more words of the names cut across those four: POINTED, SPOKED, PINWHEEL, BLACK and WHITE, each of them a word of a name and nothing more. So 70 of the 98 stand in two or three groups: U+2605 BLACK STAR is under both STAR and BLACK. A hyphenated word is a word of its own, so the seven names with TEARDROP-SPOKED are not under SPOKED.

Three names with STAR or STARS that are not listed
Three characters that the rule selects are excluded, because the word in the name is used of something else: U+262A STAR AND CRESCENT, U+1F303 NIGHT WITH STARS and U+1F929 GRINNING FACE WITH STAR EYES.
