Put a star notation in a HTML page

Question

I want to put a star notation in my HTML page. #x2605; I know that this one is for a solid star notation, but black in color. I need the star to be in red. How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

html:

<span class="red-star">★</span>

css:

.red-star {
    color: red;
}

Font tags are depreciated in html5. See http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/graphics.html#h-15.2.2
