To see all these maps you could go to start --> All programs --> accessories --> System tool --> Character mapping (assuming Windows and beyond)

You will find the star in various maps Ex : Font Wingdings/2 (0XAC)
That is probably why people are seeing different images.

I am quite positive there is much more to this, but this seesm to be the cause of the issues mentioned above.

I learned something new.
