Eight-Pointed Star

Estrella con ocho puntos

⁓ 2734 FE0E  text style ⁓ 2734 FE0F  emoji style

It's not black and it doesn't have 8 points but who am I to judge. This is a star with four points on an orange background and we love it this way. iEmoji old name: Orange Star Icon.

Emoji History The emoji code/ image log of changes.

1. This emoji was part of the proprietary / non-standardized emoji set first introduced by Japanese carriers like Softbank. These emojis became part of the Apple iPhone starting in iOS 2.2 as an unlockable feature on handsets sold in English speaking countries.
2. In iOS 5 / OSX 10.7, the underlying code that the Apple OS generates for this emoji was changed.
3. The code generated for this emoji was changed slightly in iOS 7 / OSX 10.9 (a variation selector was added) advising the OS to display character emoji style instead of black and white text when available. We don't mind Apple, thank you! We just love our emojis! [Sources 11438-emoji-var.pdf 13.7 Variation Selectors (unicode.org)]
