The reason is that I just was trying to show the rating on a webpage
using the popular of 1 to 5 starts including half-coloured starts
just using
UNicode characters.
BLACK AND WHITE STAR
WHITE AND BLACK STAR
In Dingbats, characters are mostly coded for their appearance, i.e.
like you suggest. Would it be more useful to have some or all of the
following, in a more semantic block?
HIGHEST RATING *****
HIGHER RATING ****+
HIGH RATING ****
MID-HIGH RATING ***+
MEDIUM RATING ***
MID-LOW RATING **+
LOW RATING **
LOWER RATING *+
LOWEST RATING *
You missed
NEGLECTABLE RATING +
NO RATING
This way font designers could choose more freely how to display
ratings, e.g. by thumb or arrow up or down, partially filled disc,
tomato, five stars in the same space as 1 star …
