Some time ago, Peter Flynn suggested this on comp.text.tex (changed slightly to my own needs):
%%=========8><--------%%
% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
% !TEX TS-program = XeLaTeX
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setromanfont{Adobe Garamond Pro}
\newcommand{\asterism}{%
\smash{%
\raisebox{-.15em}{%
\setlength{\tabcolsep}{0.05em}%
\begin{tabular}{@{}cc@{}}%
\multicolumn2c*\\[-.75em]*&*%
\end{tabular}%
}%
}%
}
\begin{document}
This \asterism\ is an asterism.
\end{document}
