Hi David,
OpenOffice.org has a "glyph-fallback", which means that if the current
font can't display the given unicode character OpenOffice.org
automatically chooses an appropriate font. In most cases "StarSymbol"
will be choosen.
You can find character 0x27a2 in the character selector if you choose
the "StarSymbol" font.
