About the eight pointed rectilinear black star symbol
The character is typically called an eight-pointed rectilinear black star or simply an eight-pointed star. It appears in the Dingbats block as a purely decorative or symbolic glyph, distinct from the more common five-pointed star.
This star is often used in visual design, typography, and bullet lists where a compact, geometric star shape is needed. Its rectilinear form—composed of straight lines rather than curves—gives it a sharp, orderly appearance suitable for technical, ornamental, or minimalist contexts. It may also appear in algorithms, diagrams, or as a rating symbol in specialized systems.
