How it works

The sparkle text symbol most people want is ✨, named sparkles. It is an emoji. The plain-text ones are ❇, which Unicode names sparkle, its bolder twin ❈, and the four-pointed glints ✦ and ✧. Trails, wrappers and dividers follow.

Read the full guide

Which sparkle is text and which is emoji

❈ Heavy sparkle has no emoji form, so it always takes the color of your words. ❇ Sparkle is text by default and is copied with U+FE0E to keep it that way. ✨ Sparkles is a color emoji by default.

Glitter trails and wrappers

Glitter trails are short runs of three to nine marks, such as ✧˚₊⁺, to drop after a word. Sparkle wrappers for a name put a matching run each side of the word name: paste one, then type yours over it.

  • ⁺, ₊ and ˖ are plus signs at three heights. Mixed, they read as dust.
  • 𖥔 is a letter of the Bamum script from Unicode 6.0. A device with no font for it shows an empty box.
  • The search box takes one word: trail finds 10 tiles and glint finds 12.

Questions and answers

Is there a glitter text symbol?

Unicode names no character glitter. The glints and sparkles on this page are what people type for it, and the one emoji CLDR files under glitter is 🪩 Mirror ball.

What is the ✨ emoji called?

Sparkles. Its code point is U+2728 and it arrived with Emoji 0.6. CLDR files five emoji under the word sparkle: sparkles, sparkle, sparkler, sparkling heart and glowing star.

How many sparkle characters does Unicode have?

Five have sparkle in their names: ✨ Sparkles, ❇ Sparkle, ❈ Heavy sparkle, 🎇 Firework sparkler and 💖 Sparkling heart. The four-pointed glints ✦ and ✧ are named stars.

Why does my sparkle show in color?

Because the device drew the emoji form. ❇ and ✨ each have a text form and an emoji form, and a phone often picks the emoji. ❈, ✦ and ✧ have no emoji form, so they stay plain.

How this list was compiled: Every character was checked against UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt): the code points and the character names in the notes come from that file, names in sentence case. Block names come from Blocks.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Blocks.txt) and the Unicode version each character arrived in from DerivedAge.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt), both version 18.0.0. The emoji, their names, code points and Emoji version numbers come from emoji-test.txt, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt); names are the CLDR short names printed in that file, in sentence case. Emoji search words are from the CLDR English annotations (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotations/en.xml and https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotationsDerived/en.xml). That list files the word sparkle under five emoji (sparkling heart, glowing star, sparkler, sparkles, sparkle), glitter under one (mirror ball), shine under one (sun with face) and twinkle under none. Five characters have SPARKL in their Unicode names (Sparkles, Sparkle, Heavy sparkle, Firework sparkler, Sparkling heart) and none has GLITTER. Which characters have an emoji form, and the text-style sequences that keep them plain, come from emoji-data.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-data.txt) and emoji-variation-sequences.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt), version 18.0.0. Which characters read as a sparkle, and every trail, wrapper, divider, styled word and combo, are this site's own choice and assembly, built only from characters checked above; the tile names are this site's own. Each tile was drawn with the macOS system fonts before it was kept; a character no installed font could draw was dropped. All sources were read on 2026-09-30. Licence: own work
