It's from the dingbats block: SIXTEEN POINTED ASTERISK. Zapf Dingbats
has it, the Lucida Sans fonts in Java have it, Code2000, FreeSerif ...
I think there is no way to use fc-list.
The name of the character can be output when you customise what is
printed by C-u C-x =. There is particularly one variable name:
describe-char-unicodedata-file in GNU Emacs 22 ... 23.0.50 and
unicodedata-file in GNU Emacs 23.0.60:
'(describe-char-unicodedata-file "/Applications/UnicodeChecker.app/
Contents/Resources/Unicode Data/UnicodeData.txt")
'(unicodedata-file "/sw/lib/clisp-2.43/data/UnicodeDataFull.txt")
The file UnicodeData.txt comes with Kermit, Perl, xindy, XeTeX – and
GNU Emacs 23.x.
The file UnicodeDataFull.txt comes with CLisp or xindy.
The output then can be:
character: ✺ (10042, #o23472, #x273a)
preferred charset: gb18030 (GB18030)
code point: 0x8137C136
syntax: w which means: word
buffer code: #xE2 #x9C #xBA
file code: #xE2 #x9C #xBA (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
display: by this font (glyph code)
-monotype-arial unicode ms-medium-r-normal--10-98-74-74-p-99-
gb18030.2000-0 (#xC136)
Character code properties: customize what to show
name: SIXTEEN POINTED ASTERISK
general-category: So (Symbol, Other)
canonical-combining-class: 0 (Spacing, split, enclosing,
reordrant, and Tibetan subjoined)

Government is actually the worst failure of civilized man. There has
never been a really good one, and even those that are most tolerable
are arbitrary, cruel, grasping and unintelligent.
