No key types a pentagram
None of the 21 single characters has an Alt code or an Option key on the U.S. layout. HTML names only ★, ☆ and ⋆, and LaTeX has \bigstar and \star. For the rest, the code point gives a numeric reference: ⛤ is ⛤ and ⛧ is ⛧.
Tips
⛤ has one point up and ⛧ has one point down. Pick the row by its Unicode name, not by eye.
𖤐 is a Bamum letter, not a pentagram by name. It needs a Bamum font, so test it where it will be read.
⛥ and ⛦ are mirror images. Unicode's notes tie the first to Morocco and the second to Ethiopia.
Questions and answers

It has no Alt code and no key on the U.S. layout. In Word, type 26E4, then press Alt and X. On a Mac, press Fn or Globe with E and search for pentagram. Anywhere else, copy it from this page.
Which one is the satanic star symbol?
Satanism uses the inverted form, ⛧, Inverted pentagram, U+26E7: one point down and two up. Éliphas Lévi called a reversed pentagram a symbol of evil in 1854, and the Church of Satan has popularized it since 1968. Unicode's name says only inverted.
