✴ I have been employing this design for the past few years to convey all stars, sometimes to convey angels, sometimes to convey robots. It is an eight-pointed star which I tend to draw with the diagonal lines caved-in to differentiate it from an asterisk. I first saw this star when I was inputting various star emoticons for a project, I clicked on this one by accident (which was incorrectly represented as an emoji in my picker) and became mesmerized by its look. Since this point, no other star has compared. No other star has been one I care for. ✴
