Text stars (★ ☆ ✦ ✧ ⋆) are favorites for decorating nicknames and bios because they show on almost any phone. Sparkles ✨ and ⭐ are emoji and come in color.
Stars for ratings
For reviews and rankings use ★ (black star, U+2605) and ☆ (white star, U+2606): «★★★★☆». They look the same everywhere and don't depend on phone emoji.
