To use the Star symbol (⭐) in HTML, insert the

In CSS pseudo-elements use content: '\2B50';.
In JavaScript and TypeScript the escape '\u2B50' evaluates to ⭐. In Python source, write '\u2B50'.
The character encodes to E2 AD 90 as UTF-8 bytes and 2B50 as UTF-16 code units. Its decimal codepoint is 11088.
This is a fully-qualified emoji and should render with colour on iOS, Android, Windows and macOS. Appearance may vary between platforms, but the underlying codepoint is identical everywhere.
