Another possibility might be one of those symbol fonts. There is some standard 
windows font, I think it's called windings or something, that has all kinds of 
symbols. I bet there will be some star character too.

However using images, is of course guaranteed to always work on every platform, 
without any nasty surprised if a particular font is missing.
