Overlaying two symbols

Question

I use LyX, so a lot of the working is hidden from me. I want to overlay the symbols \star and \bigcircle.

How do I do this? I know it can be done, ad there is the \not, which works like that

I don't think that LyX provides some UI for that. See e.g. Overlay symbol with another for ideas how to do this using TeX code. — Martin Scharrer, May 30 '11 at 06:36
what package is providing the \start and \Bigcircle symbols? There's no mention of them in the Comprehensive LaTeX symbol list — egreg, May 30 '11 at 08:13

I don't know how to teach this to LyX, but here's how I would do it:

\usepackage{amsmath}
\newcommand{\circledstar}{\text{\textcircled{$\star$}}}
