About the heavy eight pointed rectilinear black star symbol
A black star with eight sharply pointed rays, drawn as a solid, blocky shape with straight lines rather than curved or tapered points. This character belongs to the set of decorative typographic stars found in the Dingbats block, used ornamentally in print and digital design to emphasize text, mark list items, or add visual accents. It is not an emoji and is typically rendered as a static glyph in fonts that support the Dingbats range.
