Frequently asked questions

How do I copy the ✡ symbol?

Click the big ✡ in the card at the top of this page — it copies as a standard Unicode character and pastes into documents, posts and messages.

Is this an emoji?

It began as a text/dingbat character and still works as plain text; some phones may render a colour emoji version. The character itself is identical either way.

Why does ✡ sometimes show as a box or question mark?

The box (called tofu) means the device or font viewing it has no drawing for U+2721 (Star Of David). The character itself is fine — try a different font or a newer device, or use one of the variants on this page.

Is the Star of David free to use?

Yes. ✡ is a standard Unicode text character published in the Unicode Character Database. You may use it in personal and commercial documents, designs and products without permission or payment.
