About the open centre black star symbol

The open centre black star is a decorative star symbol with a hollow interior, used primarily as an ornamental dingbat. It appears in typographic designs, bullet lists, and as a stylistic element in page layout or signage where a simple, non-filling star shape is desired. The character belongs to the set of star symbols found in the Dingbats block, often employed for visual emphasis or as a marker in printed and digital documents without conveying specific cultural or astronomical meaning.
