Use for emphasis, ratings, decorative headings, special markers, or as an ornamental symbol. The tone can shift depending on context — a message to a friend reads differently than one to a coworker.
What is the official Unicode name for ✴️?▼
Each emoji has an official name assigned by the Unicode Consortium, which may differ from common names used in apps. The Eight-Pointed Star emoji's official designation is listed in the Unicode CLDR (Common Locale Data Repository). Shortcode names like those on Slack or Discord are platform-specific.
Can screen readers interpret ✴️?▼
