five-pointed star

Common patriotic symbol

A five-pointed star is a shape with five triangular points radiating from a center, drawn with five straight lines that cross to form a pentagon in the middle.

It's the most common star symbol—appearing on flags, military insignia, and children's drawings.

A pentagram is a five-pointed star drawn with a single continuous line.

Stars indicating quality ratings are typically five-pointed: a five-star hotel.
