The list below is arranged by number of points typically found on the star grapheme, but this may differ according which font is in use. Type designers may specify a glyph for a particular grapheme that has a different number of points. For example, whether the asterisk grapheme has a five or a six point glyph depends on typeface (computer font) being used. In this article, the glyphs displayed are determined by the system font on the reader's computer operating systems and web browsers: a colleague using a different system may see slightly different forms. For the same reason, some glyphs may be shown on some systems in their emoji variant rather than their text form.
