Heavy Asterisk Symbol (✱)

The **Heavy Asterisk symbol (✱)** is a bolder and thicker version of the standard asterisk. Its pronounced weight gives it more visual impact, making it suitable for emphasizing points, serving as a robust bullet, or as a decorative element that requires a stronger presence than a regular asterisk. It's often used when a more significant visual marker is needed in text or design.
