Also the asymmetric geometric shapes don't have the mirror-property (it is restricted to
parentheses and mathematical operators). That's the reason why I have proposed
two characters instead of only one. Adding the mirror property to the bicolor star
only would violate the "minimum surprise principle".

I don't think Geometric Shapes have the mirror property.

In a Hebrew context you'd just choose the star you wanted (black-white vs white-black) and use it.
