What 🟁 means
A decorative three-pointed star with no set meaning.
It belongs to Geometric Shapes Extended, a block Unicode filled largely with shapes from symbol fonts such as Wingdings and Webdings, so documents made with those fonts keep their pictures as real characters. Its siblings come in sizes and directions: is the larger up-pointing star, 🟁 the medium one, and and point downward.
People use it like any dingbat: as a list bullet, a divider, a rating mark or decoration in a username or bio. Because it isn't an emoji, phones show it in plain text style, and devices without a font that includes it display an empty box instead.
Neutral typographic ornament; it carries whatever the text around it says.
On some devices it shows as an empty box, so don't rely on it alone.

2Is 🟁 the Mercedes-Benz star?
No. The Mercedes star is a trademark with thin points inside a circle and has no Unicode character; 🟁 is a plain solid three-pointed star.
Why do I see a box instead of a star?
Your font lacks it. It's a rare text symbol, not an emoji, so only some fonts include it.
