    I appreciate the argument, but I feel like there’s too much of a chance that we can do better with something in unicode. Or, that this isn’t really good enough. Three asterisks is just too meh, IMO, to catch on.

    ⁂ … to me right now just looks like a splodge on the screen.

    Somewhat unfortunately, the pentagram in the older icon probably can’t really be used without some cartoon-ification, because reasons.

        I know, but Unicode is big. I’m saying that there may very well be something better.

      This is in unicode though? U+2042

      I like it! Distinct but still simple enough that it could be easily stylized. The constellation symbolism works for me.
      Ideally if it were used as an icon it would be slightly larger than the default text on a given page, though I’m not sure how well it fares on those cheap low-res laptops
