What the star of david ✡️ emoji means
✡️ is the Star of David (Magen David): the six-pointed star that has been the symbol of Judaism since the Middle Ages and appears on the flag of Israel. It means Jewish identity, faith and holidays — Shabbat, Hanukkah with 🕎 menorah, Rosh Hashanah, a synagogue post — and Jewish pride in bios. 🔯 dotted six-pointed star is a related but separate symbol: a hexagram with a dot in the middle, from the Japanese sets, used loosely for the same star or for esoteric contexts. The other faith symbols are on the religious symbols guide.
