The Unicode for ⭐ is U+2B50. The important part is the hexadecimal number after the U+, which is used in various formats. For example, in Microsoft Office applications (e.g. Word, PowerPoint), do the following:

Type	Output
2B50 [Hold down Alt] [Press x]	⭐ (Note that you can omit any leading zeros.)

JavaScript Text
const x = "0x"+"2B50" ctx.fillText(String.fromCodePoint(x), 5, 5);
Output
