The page source contains

<span style="display:inline-block; -webkit-transform:rotate(180deg); -moz-transform:rotate(180deg); -o-transform:rotate(180deg); -ms-transform:rotate(180deg); transform:rotate(180deg);">⁂</span>The asterism is one glyph. Whether there are 5 or 6 points depends upon the font.
