Description
It was suggested at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Infobox_hospital#c-JMF-20250809000300-Edit_request_9_August_2025 to:
> Replace the Christian icon (✚) on the mapframe with a non-sectarian symbol such as U+2731 ✱ HEAVY ASTERISK (as a simplifeid form of [Star of Life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_of_Life)).
This can't be done on-wiki since the icon is (with several layers of indirection) inherited from Maki, so filing here.

Research direction
Start by locating the Maki source for the hospital icon and the mapframe asset inherited by the Wikipedia template. Check how the icon is built or exported before changing it to U+2731 ✱. Done means the hospital icon uses the non-sectarian symbol consistently in the affected output.
