Mister Micawber,
'Star' is English; 'starr' is not.


Unless Starr is referring to a last name (or surname) as in Ringo Starr, and then it is.

Hopefully, I can make one of these smiley faces.

Yes, of course. As in A Hard Day's Night, starring Ringo Starr.

Which brings up an interesting point: his name is coined (his real name is Richard Starkey). How legitimate is the stage name,'Starr', as an English word (aside from the fact that its creator is Liverpudlian)?
