Depending on what font you are using is what you should see. In other words behind the charachter is a 1 or 2 byte value, which can be mapped to different images depending on the fonts.
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.
