Talk:Ajax Poll:Do you prefer Arabic Stars or Asterisks?/@comment-24258073-20190529102447

I admit that Asterisks (*) are more useful because they are commonly used as bullet points on wikifarm sites. Arabic Stars (٭) cannot be used as bullet points unless you create a template that automatically produces a * and name it Template:٭

Also Arabic Stars can be quite problematic when trying to publish text when the character coming directly after an Arabic Star is a number, which causes the number to automatically be published before the Arabic Star.

Another thing I've noticed is that Arabic Stars are italic friendly, whereas Asterisks are not. This can be good or bad depending on the person's preference. I find it a bad thing because it makes the Arabic Stars bigger and unappealing.

In spite of this, I prefer Arabic Stars because they are less common, and are not found on the keyboard. Therefore I find them to be a more interesting symbol than Asterisks are.
