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.
