Stress Star symbol

Type :stress_star: · Shapes & stars

What ✩ is for

An outlined star with a white centre, drawn heavier than the plain outline. In old typography stars like this marked emphasis levels, which is where the name comes from.

How to type ✩

The shortcuts below are the built-in routes. With Emoji Anywhere installed you can skip all of them and type :stress_star: in any text field instead, which is the same on every platform.

macOS

No direct shortcut. Use Edit → Emoji & Symbols, or switch to the Unicode Hex Input source and type 2729 with Option held.

Windows

No Alt code. In Word, type 2729 then press Alt + X. Elsewhere use the emoji panel with Win + Period, or Character Map.
