ninepointed

Ninepointed is a term used to describe objects or motifs that have nine points. In geometry it most often refers to the nine-pointed star, also called a nonagram, which is a regular star polygon formed by connecting vertices of a regular nonagon in specific steps. The most common constructions are denoted as {9/2} and {9/4}, depending on how the vertices are linked.

Beyond pure geometry, ninepointed forms appear in art, design, and symbolism. The nine-pointed star is a recognizable motif in many cultures and is especially associated with the Bahá’í Faith, where the nine-pointed star serves as a symbol of unity and diversity. The symbol is used in various emblems, jewelry, and architectural detail, though its exact meaning can vary with context.

Other uses of the term include branding or fictional works, where "ninepointed" may be used as a name or descriptor for items featuring nine-pointed patterns or themes.

Related geometric ideas include the nine-point circle in triangle geometry, and nonagram shapes in general, which refer to nine-pointed star figures formed by different step sizes or symmetries.
