Four Balloon-spoked Asterisk Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Four Balloon-spoked Asterisk because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+2723, which you can use as ✣ in HTML, \2723 in CSS, or type with Alt+10019 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly.
