How to put the STAR symbol into title of html page?

I saw several sites have the star (some solid black, some white star) in their title tab. Anybody know how to do this?

You can use various star symbols (there are many of them Unicode) either as such or as an entity reference inside a title element, e.g.

<title>☆ Hello world</title>

(if the character encoding of the document is UTF-8 and has been properly declared) or, equivalently,

<title>&#x2606; Hello world</title>

However, the title element is rendered by browsers in special ways, normally using a font that depends on the operating system or on the browser, beyond author control. This means that the character repertoire can be rather limited in practice.

You mean this element? ★

In your html: &#9733; , or in js: \u2605

You do know that you could have a look at the source of the web page to see how others are doing it?

But basically you want to insert the right html entity in your title tag, e.g.

<title>&#10021; test symbol</title>
