I recommend using a Unicode/OpenType font with stars, rather than the old PostScript versions of Zapf Dingbats, Wingdings, Symbol font, or other common PostScript or TrueType fonts.

Unicode characters are universally read by computer technologies, especially assistive technologies for those with disabilities, EPUB readers, and other devices.

The Unicode glyphs (called codepoints) for various stars that replicate what's on our common Dingbats fonts are:

2605 ★  black star

2729 ✩ STRESS OUTLINED WHIT

Try a symbol typeface such as Wingdings or Zaph Dingbats. For those faces, you'll find lot of stars in the Glyphs panel.

See attached screen shot.

2606 ☆ white star

272A ✪ CIRCLED WHITE STAR

272B ✫ OPEN CENTRE BLACK STAR

272C ✬ BLACK CENTRE WHITE STAR

272D ✭ OUTLINED BLACK STAR

272E ✮ HEAVY OUTLINED BLACK STAR

272F ✯PINWHEEL STAR

2730 ✰ SHADOWED WHITE STAR

There are many fonts that have some or all of these Unicode stars on them:

  • Zapf Dingbats Std (Std = the OpenType version of the font, not the old PostScript version)
  • Kozuka
  • Noto Symbols
  • Segoe UI Symbols
  • Arial Unicode MS

In the Glyphs Panel's search box, type the Unicode codepoint number for the star you want, such as 2605, to find the glyph on your fonts.

This screen capture uses the OpenType version of Zapf Dingbats Std:

See my company's blog about how designers can use Unicode glyphs/characters so that their publications are universally recognized by all publishing technologies. PubCom —Fonts, Unicode, OpenType, and Accessibility

In 2000, OpenType/Unicode fonts became the standard for all computer technologies worldwide. That's 18 years ago! Hint: time to archive the old PostScript and TrueType fonts still in your font stash.

OHG! 18 years!

Absolutely, that's better than the standard Zapf Dingbats. Also, even much better

> Type the glyph's codepoint number here

can be

> Type the text 'star' here

to get a list of all named Unicode characters in the current font that contain the text "star":

(It might contain a couple of characters that are obviously not stars; things like "Symbol for start of heading".)

You can easily use the glyphs in the text.  or if you want a more customizable star,  you can create a polygon with 5 sides and a star inset of about 45% which would create a star shape,  then you could toy with the look of it,  get it to the size you want and paste it into the text box.  But the glyphs the others mention is the easy way if you just want a star.
