Notably, around the same time in Mesopotamia, there were artistic, non-lexical (as in non-cuneiform) depictions of ⛤ (a pentagram), ✴, ✷ (eight-pointed stars) and ✶ (a six-pointed star), like the Star of Ishtar; compare Sumerian 𒀭 (“sky, heaven”), in cuneiform, which is descended from such drawings, and 𒀯 (“star, constellation”).",

L. Zamenhof, the inventor of Esperanto, and first attested in 1892 in La Esperantisto. Zamenhof published all of his Esperantist works with green covers, having been indirectly inspired by Richard H. Geoghegan—who often used the colour to represent Ireland—and he took the five-pointed star from a grammar book of Esperanto written by Louis de Beaufront.",

L. Zamenhof, the inventor of Esperanto, and first attested in 1892 in La Esperantisto. Zamenhof published all of his Esperantist works with green covers, having been indirectly inspired by Richard H. Geoghegan—who often used the colour to represent Ireland—and he took the five-pointed star from a grammar book of Esperanto written by Louis de Beaufront.",
