I am afraid you are incorrect. I am speaking about the specific star character as provided above. This one ★ specifically. This is no longer available for file explorer and related native files in Windows 10 as per the character map. See for yourself.
Also, I apologize for not being clear. I thought it was obvious things like * asterisk can be substituted for ★. But nah... ★ is ★
Hello John,
The ALT + 9733 results to ♣ symbol. There are star-shaped symbols in other fonts, such as wingdings, wingdings 2 but fonts are not specified in the alt (ascii/unicode)code itself. If you search the web using Bing or other search engines. You can find a complete list ALT symbol codes.
If you're using an application like Microsoft Office, you can go to Insert > Symbols > Symbol > More Symbols.
