The star symbol on the stairway exit or floor identification sign denotes a floor with the exit discharge. The star has to be five-pointed and raised, and located to the left of the identifying floor level. CBC Title 24 Code 1022.9 specifies that “Tactile floor designation signs shall be located at the landing of each floor level adjacent to the latch side in all enclosed stairways in buildings two or more stories in height. At the exit discharge level, the sign shall include a raised five-pointed star located to the left of the floor level. The outside diameter of the star shall be the same as the height of the raised characters.”
