Perhaps riffing on expressions of seeing stars or feeling star-struck, the Glowing Star emoji 🌟 expresses feelings of affection toward a crush, loved one, celebrity, or sports team. It can even stand in for “true north,” a metaphor for a guiding force in someone’s life.
Gold stars have long been used to rate a performance or review a product. The Glowing Star emoji 🌟 takes a cue from this convention.
