Now, if we could get the Unicode Consortium to add the graphical logo, I'd be sold. But if we must pick an existing character, I for one prefer the outlined star (⚝) much more than either the asterism (⁂) or the pentagram (⛧).
Unlike the pentagram, it aligns a lot better with inline text and looks nice and smooth. It's also far less commonly used or overloaded with existing readings.
The asterism would be easier to unambiguously read or write by hand though! That's its one pro.
I've had this list of print-and-play games from Randomskill (containing games that are not of Randomskill as well) bookmarked for a while, and haven't actually tried any of them...because I don't have a printer. I have played a few of these games in their commercial versions though, but not the free ones.

Maybe you would like to give it a try?
For a while I was seeing people use the asterism symbol (⁂) around my Mastodon feed. Wonder what happened to that movement.
I came here to post Faraway as well!
Those rumours about moonlit orgies can't all be wrong. They are the f-druids after all...
The ability to post a video to multiple co-authors' channels.
Instantly brought back memories of zoning out to Knytt on my then new PC 😊
Systemic, I tell you
I really wish there were more of them.

Does this count as flexing is the Deck is my only PC?!
As a prompt me and my friends tried to draw the mythical beast makara in various styles. I drew a dolphin-doggo frolicking in the ocean!
[This is my very first post. Trying to see how best to share my artwork; whether posting the original post works. Edit: Linking to the post doesn't show up as an image, so I'm now linking to the image itself!]
Stars are perhaps even more common in written text for highlights and annotations than typed text, at least around here. I can draw a star much faster than three asterisks. But it wouldn't be very easily distinguishable as the Fediverse star. And that's the same between the regular sharp and pointy star and the rounded outline one.
