About the white sun with rays symbol

This symbol is called the white sun with rays, and it is often read aloud simply as “sun.” In typography and decorative design, it appears as a plain-text icon representing sunlight, warmth, or a bright day. It is one of several sun-like symbols in the Miscellaneous Symbols block, and it is sometimes used in astrological or astronomical contexts as a generic sign for the Sun, separate from the more elaborate zodiacal or planetary symbols. On occasion, it serves as a simple weather indicator or as a visual stand-in for the word “sun” in short messages or lists.
