After 15+ years, we've made a big change: Android Forums is now Early Bird Club. Learn more here.
Which symbol?
From right to left it appears to me as:
Clock, battery level, signal strength, wifi strength, notifications off (?) (edit: could have something to do with priority mode), bluetooth.

That's easy to do. If you drag down instead of across, on tap will shut them off. I do it all the time.

Check out this video:
As best as I can explain,it's basically a "Do Not Disturb" mode,which you can tweak to allow certains apps/notifications to come through,regardless of the do not disturb times you set.
The Alarm clock would be the 1st exception that comes to mind where this would be helpful,
Another would be calls from family/work/etc.........
Cool stuff,but,some think the U/I of this feature could have been done a bit different/better.....

If you see a crescent moon in the notification bar,I believe it means you got a notification during "quiet hours",from an app/function that is not in the exceptions.
I'll be back on later today,I'll look around for more thorough videos that give a better explanation on how to best use these features.
In the meantime,if you just want to get rid of the star icon,the above linked video shows how (go to the 3:40 mark in the video).
I think if you hit you volume rocker & when the volume slider(s) appear,select "ALL" & the star should disappear.
I'm not 100% certain on that & ATM cannot verify,as I'm running ANDROID M at the moment & they've changed notifications yet again.......................
Here's another video that (perhaps) better explains how to set-up priority notifications :

The star appears when you are in Priority Notifications mode - it is not a notification itself. You can either toggle it off and on manually under Notification settings, or set it to come on at certain days and times. I have mine set to activate from 1 am to 7 am every night. It's basically a "Do Not Disturb" mode that Google did a poor job of naming. I read somewhere that Android M is supposed to improve/clarify the functionality.
