A five-pointed star (☆), geometrically an equilateral concave decagon, is a common ideogram in modern culture. Comparatively rare in classical heraldry, it was notably introduced for the flag of the United States in the Flag Act of 1777 and since has become widely used in flags.
It has also become a symbol of fame or "stardom" in Western culture, among other uses.
In some occult and Wiccan traditions, the pentagram is a symbol representing the five elements of nature—earth, air, fire, water, and spirit. It is often used as a protective symbol or to represent spiritual balance.
