The identification of the sextile with the six-pointed "star" on telephone keyboards.
[edit]Is this just based on visual similarity? The cited ITU standard never says "sextile".
Or are we saying that the name of this shape is "sextile", the way we might say something is a circle without requiring that the standard actually use the word "circle"? I don't know, that seems dubious to me. Dingolover6969 (talk) 22:16, 16 December 2025 (UTC)
