Medium Five-Spoked Asterisk

Use a Unicode input tool; there is no universal keyboard shortcut.

An app with Unicode code-point input can accept 1F7B0. Old Wingdings 2 material maps this design to the font's Õ key under the collection label w-2213; typing Õ in ordinary text gives a different character.

Wingdings 2, a Microsoft Office symbol font, dates to the early 1990s. Its five-spoked asterisks were typographic ornaments, not a messaging system.

What does 🞰 mean in a message?

It has no fixed message; nearby words decide how to read it.

🞰 works best as a decorative asterisk or visual marker. As of 2026, no Unicode or emoji convention assigns it a special message.

Plain * has familiar jobs such as marking a footnote, correction, emphasis, or censorship. 🞰 does not automatically do any of those; choose the plain mark when that distinction matters.

Why does 🞰 show as a box?

The font may not include a drawing for this character.

Unicode identifies the character, but your font must include a glyph to display it. Without one, an app may show a box, question mark, blank space, or fallback glyph. The lighter and heavier siblings can be hard to tell apart at small sizes; check the character name when stroke weight matters.

That is font fallback, not an emoji redesign: 🞰 is a text character, and its appearance depends on the font in use.
