We propose the symbol ⁂ to represent the fediverse.

…

⁂ is called an asterism. In astronomy, it refers to groups of stars in the sky, akin to constellations. We suggest that it’s a very fitting symbol for the fediverse, a galaxy of interconnected spaces which is decentralised and has an astronomically-themed name. It represents several stars coming together, connecting but each their own, without a centre.

…

@ is the symbol for e-mail. # is the symbol for hashtags. ☮ is the symbol for peace. ♻ is the symbol for recycling. ⁂ can be the symbol for the fediverse. ⁂ is standardised as Unicode U+2042, making it ready to copy and insert anywhere.

    Emojis used zero width joiner to combine multiple single code point emoji to a single combined emoji.

    ⛥ + ZWJ + ⬠ could form the combined character, and be rendered as desired.

      pretty sure this guy is trying to trick someone else into summoning a demon. It’s like telling people to hit alt-f4 to chat.
