When to use it
An outline star, used with the black star ★ for ratings. A row of stars does not say the score out loud, so add text such as '4 out of 5'.
The name comes from the HTML5 list (much of it shared with MathML), so it works in every current browser but not in XML or XHTML served as XML, where the numeric reference is the safe choice.
