I have made a font with glyphs for the four stars.
The font is available from the following forum thread.

using the popular of 1 to 5 starts including half-coloured starts just using
UNicode characters.

WHITE AND BLACK STAR

In Dingbats, characters are mostly coded for their appearance, i.e. like you
