Rating stars, glowing stars, shooting stars, sparkles, and star-eyed kaomoji β the full picture-emoji star set. Click any symbol to copy it instantly.
The star emoji β is one of the internet's most practical picture emoji β a single tap builds a βββββ five-star review, rates a product, or crowns a favorite in a caption. This page collects the full picture-emoji star family, from the β rating star to the π glowing star, β¨ sparkles, and π shooting star, plus night-sky companions and star-eyed kaomoji like (βΟβ). These are full-color emoji that render as little pictures β if you want plain-text Unicode stars like β and β that paste anywhere as characters, see the star symbols collection at /library/star-symbols/ (kaomoji and ASCII star art live on their own linked pages too). Copy a single star, a kaomoji, or a ready-made combo set with one click.

Every star here is a single Unicode character, identical on every device β but the artwork is drawn separately by each vendor. Apple's β is a rounded gold star with a soft gradient; Google's is flatter and more saturated; Samsung's sits somewhere between. Send βββββ from an iPhone to an Android phone and the rating still reads as five stars, it just looks a little different.
The one to watch is π« Dizzy, which several vendors draw as a comet-like swoosh rather than a star β it can read as motion rather than rating. If the meaning has to be unambiguous, β is the safest of the set.
Want stars that are plain text rather than pictures β β β β¦ β so they paste into a username or a field that rejects emoji? Those are on the star symbols page.
Because the character and the picture are two different things. β is one Unicode code point that every device agrees on, but Apple, Google, Samsung and Microsoft each draw their own artwork for it. The star you send is always the same star β the drawing just changes with the device showing it.
Repeat the β character five times: βββββ. For a partial rating, mix filled and empty β most people use ββββ plus a plain-text β from the star symbols page, since there is no half-star emoji in Unicode.
β is the plain rating star and the one to use for reviews and scores. π is the glowing star, read as βspecialβ or βstandoutβ. β¨ is sparkles β it signals shine, newness or excitement rather than a rating, and is the one most often used decoratively around text.
Usually not in an @handle, which is ASCII-only on most platforms, but often yes in a display name. If the field rejects the emoji, use a plain-text star like β or β from the star symbols page instead β those are ordinary characters and pass far more filters.
The device displaying it has no emoji font covering that character, which usually means a very old system. The newer the emoji, the more likely this is. β and β¨ are old and safe; rarer additions are the ones that break.
