How to use star symbols
Ratings are the obvious use and worth doing properly: fill from the left and pad with outlines, so ★★★★☆ rather than a bare number. For text accents, the smaller marks earn their place because they do not shout. ⋆ and ⭒ sit inside a sentence without pulling the eye off the words, while ✨ and 🌟 render as coloured emoji and take over any line they land in. The asterisk group behaves like punctuation rather than decoration: ✳ works as a footnote marker where a superscript number is unavailable, and ❉ separates blocks of text the way a printer would have used a fleuron. One thing to check before committing: colour emoji stars ignore your text colour entirely, so they will stay yellow on a dark background where ★ would have turned white.

Frequently asked questions
Why does ★ change colour but ⭐ never does?
★ (U+2605) is a text character and inherits whatever colour and weight the surrounding text has, so it turns white in dark mode along with everything else. ⭐ (U+2B50) is an emoji, drawn by the platform as a fixed image. It stays the same yellow star on every background. Pick the text star when the symbol should belong to the sentence, and the emoji when you want it to stand apart from it.
Which star should I use for a rating widget?
Use ★ and ☆ together. They are the same width and were designed as a filled and hollow pair, so a row of them aligns cleanly and reads instantly. Mixing in asterisk forms such as ✦ or ✹ breaks the alignment because those glyphs have different widths and optical weights. For half stars there is no reliable single character, so most interfaces fall back on an image or a clipped element.
Do these work in a Twitch or YouTube channel name?
Text stars generally do, and they are common in streaming display names. Emoji stars are accepted on most platforms too but occasionally get stripped from search indexes, which means a channel named with an emoji may be harder to find by typing. Keeping the searchable part of the name in plain letters and using the star as decoration around it avoids that problem.
