Forum:Changing the GG link symbol

Currently, links to the comic are indicated by the symbol "&#x2723;" (Unicode character 0x2723, "Four Balloon-Spoked Asterisk") What do people think about changing it to "&#x2699;" (Unicode character 0x2699, "Gear")?

An important consideration is how many people have the character supported on their systems, which I don't know yet for sure. (So far, in the template talk page, several people have affirmed that it shows up okay for them, but Doktor Electrogeist made the good suggestion that I ask here, to get more opinions.)

To anyone reading this, do you see it fine? It should show up at least for anyone with a DejaVu family font, EversonMono, FreeSerif, GNU Unifont, or Symbola installed on their system and a browser that does Unicode character display fallback properly. &mdash;Undomelin &#x2709; 17:49, June 19, 2013 (UTC)
