We propose the symbol ⁂ to represent the fediverse.
…
⁂ is called an asterism. In astronomy, it refers to groups of stars in the sky, akin to constellations. We suggest that it’s a very fitting symbol for the fediverse, a galaxy of interconnected spaces which is decentralised and has an astronomically-themed name. It represents several stars coming together, connecting but each their own, without a centre.
…
@ is the symbol for e-mail. # is the symbol for hashtags. ☮ is the symbol for peace. ♻ is the symbol for recycling. ⁂ can be the symbol for the fediverse. ⁂ is standardised as Unicode U+2042, making it ready to copy and insert anywhere.

I’d rather see the current logo added to Unicode than reuse an existing symbol. It’s not impossible, considering that the Bitcoin symbol (₿) ended up making it.
I think it’s too complex to be a Unicode character
Looking at how current emojis tend to be hard to distinguish without increasing the font size (I see ~13 px on this page), I’d say the fediverse icon fits the criterion well enough.
Also, I can see the icon in here well enough
Most Egyptian hieroglyphics are in unicode. However, there are many other reasons for it not to be included.
And an emoji for moths too
I’m still fighting for a poutine emoji 💪
but that’s a disgusting logo
