If you don't want to use images, you could:

a) use a fraction glyph: ★★★★½
b) use a white star as a half star: ★★★★☆

In case you don't see the stars, here's their Unicode information:

Unicode Character 'BLACK STAR' (U+2605) ★
Unicode Character 'WHITE STAR' (U+2606) ☆
For whatever my opinion is worth, if I saw option "b", I'd read that as "4 out of 5 stars", not "four-and-one-half stars".
