四梅花形轮辐星号 ✥

The asterisk U+2725 has an unusual shape. At the end of each thin line there is a black element which looks like a clover leaf or a club icon that denotes one of the card suits.

In Unicode, the symbol is called a club-shaped asterisk because of some similarity of the tips with the clubs — ancient battle maces (weapons). However, today this similarity is not obvious, so the symbol can be safely used as a typographic decoration in texts of any subject.

符号 「四梅花形轮辐星号」 包含在 「印刷符号」 块的 「星號和星號」 子块中，并在1993年作为Unicode版本1.1的一部分获得批准。
