On: Show HN: Inspired by a HN comment, half stars prop...

[kens]

An example where the half star appears in the middle of text would be helpful, e.g. "Die Hard 7 ( 1/2*) is the latest movie..." In most of the examples I have, the stars are kind of on their own rather than in the flow of text, and that makes a difference to the Unicode committee.

If you have good examples, you can email my username @righto.com

Pull an Amazon product page and look at other items' ratings. Row of stars followed by a numeric count of the number of ratings.

As just one example that immediately occurred to me, after having been on Amazon yesterday.

By the way, you have or will add a hollow star, also per Amazon? Placeholder for the higher possible rating(s) that an item has not received.
