Unicode, HTML, and CSS
Unicode identifies the character. HTML decimal and hex values insert it into markup. CSS escape values are useful when placing stars in pseudo-elements or design system tokens.
Why symbols show as squares
A square usually means the active font does not include that glyph. Try a more common star or choose a font with broader Unicode support.
