Can't find a "star" character

I've searched the forums and have not found an answer to a little problem I've encountered. Perhaps someone out there knows how to do this:

I need a classic 5-point "star" character that I can use in iWeb to indicated a rating, e.g. to indicate that so-and-so deserves a 5-star rating. Webdings does not have one that I can find and neither does Zapf Dingbats. Even if Zapf did, it's not a web font and would probably get substituted. Does anyone know of a web-compatible font family that has such a character?

I'd hate to have to imbed a graphic, but maybe I'll have to in which case, in what non-Web font family can I find a decent-looking 5-point star (I've got hundreds of fonts and am exhausted after checking just a couple of dozen) that I can then take a screen shot of to create a graphic?

Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!

Open Character Palette (Edit > Special Characters), View = Code Tables, Tab = Unicode, range = 00002600, and select 2605 or 2606. In the Font Variation panel below you will find all the fonts which have these.
