⁂ is called an asterism. In astronomy, it refers to groups of stars in the sky, akin to constellations. We suggest that it’s a very fitting symbol for the fediverse, a galaxy of interconnected spaces which is decentralised and has an astronomically-themed name. It represents several stars coming together, connecting but each their own, without a centre.

@FediverseSymbol the problem with that is that we don't want corporations taking new unicode characters as logos, or worse, force their way in unicode the old star one, this one, or (Im sorry) the meta one are valid options

@FediverseSymbol I think I'll generally prefer the colored pentagram, but it will be nice to have a Unicode text symbol as well.

@FediverseSymbol I prefer the token of two houses ⌂⌂ The house represents a town and two towns together represents how towns stands together. By using this symbol, it better visualizes how the fediverse is built up. That is of towns that stands with each other.

@FediverseSymbol The only issue I have with it is that screen readers just won't read the symbol at all, leaving a weird blank. And even if they read it, they wouldn't read it as "Fediverse Symbol". We would need to add alt text to a character which is very odd and couter-intuitive and can't be done most of the time.
