About the black small star symbol

A solid black star with five points, smaller than the standard star symbols found in many fonts. This character is used as a decorative or typographic element in text, often to mark items, indicate ratings, or add visual emphasis without the full-size prominence of a larger star. It belongs to the set of geometric star shapes in the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block, serving as a compact alternative for bullet lists or inline notation.
