Stars are everywhere in ratings and decoration, yet the keyboard has no star key, so people resort to asterisks that do not look right.
This page gathers star symbols, including filled, outlined, and sparkle stars, so you can click the star you want and paste a proper glyph.
How to use Star Symbols Copy and Paste
- Browse the star grid with filled, outlined, and sparkle star glyphs.
- Click a star symbol to copy it to your clipboard.
- Paste the star where you need it, or collect a row of stars in the tray.
Use cases
- Building a simple star rating in plain text.
- Decorating a heading or bio with sparkle stars.
- Marking a highlight or favourite in a list.
Good to know
Star symbols are monochrome Unicode glyphs that take the text color, so a filled star reads cleanly in a rating line. Sparkle and decorative stars are well supported, though a few ornate stars vary by font.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a star rating?
Place filled stars for the score and outlined stars for the remainder, for example four filled and one outlined for a four-out-of-five look.
Will the stars keep my text color?
Yes, because they behave like text glyphs and inherit the surrounding color rather than a fixed emoji color.
Why does a star sometimes turn into an emoji?
Some apps swap the solid star glyph for a star emoji; outlined stars are less likely to be converted.
