⛤| pentagram

If you draw a star with five straight strokes, you’ll get a pentagram ⛤, also known as pantacle, pentacle, pentalpha, pentangle or Pythagorean star. While solid five-pointed stars are widely used in heraldry, the pentagram has been more typically employed in religious or occult contexts.

In Spanish and Portuguese, the word pentagrama could refer both to pentagram and musical stave.

A five-pointed star, ☆, is a regular concave decagon.

It is found on many flags and coats of arms, usually in solid form, and often used as military insignia. A red star ★ is often associated with communist ideology while a green star ★ is a symbol of Esperanto. More than 2600 coral-pink stars ★ grace the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
