License Plate Watch 11

Among the varieties of California special interest, or "vanity", license plates is one that funds children's safety programs in the state. This plate is distinguished by use of one of four symbols:

• a hand
• a heart
• a star
• or a plus sign

Last night I saw one of these plates. It read: "RU(star symbol)DEVO"

I can only assume that references the group Devo, but I'm stumped about what the star symbol means in this case.
