The Shadowed White Star (✰) is a decorative dingbat featuring a classic five-pointed star with a three-dimensional drop shadow effect. Originally included in early typographical sets and added to the Unicode Standard in 1993, it is widely used to denote premium quality, highlight special achievements, or serve as an eye-catching bullet point. On social media, users frequently incorporate it into usernames, bios, and aesthetic text headers to add a touch of retro flair.
