A star sits before the word Badge. The badge uses the destructive color on a light tint of that color. The star is decorative.
Use it when people should spot a problem before they read the word. Swap the star for the symbol you need. A full sentence belongs in an Alert. In React, Ark UI keeps the label on one line.

How does the star sit before the label in React?
The icon is the first child, with data-icon="inline-start" and aria-hidden="true". The badge styles size the svg and space it with the badge's gap, so the icon has no size class.
Why hide the star from assistive tech?
The label is the word in the badge. The star is decoration.
aria-hidden="true" is already on the icon, so screen readers read the word and skip the star.
Does the star need its own color?
No. Lucide icons paint with currentColor, so the star uses the badge's text color and follows the variant, including in dark mode.
What does variant destructive change?
variant="destructive" sets text-destructive on bg-destructive/10. The star stays the first child and picks up that text color.
