Nope you are both wrong.

This is a pentagrm, if it was inverted it would still be a pentagram
(gram) being a Greek word for "drawn or line", from the root "gramma".

Only if it was enclosed in a circle would it be a "pentacle".
This means a circle (same ending as cir"cle") with five (penta) points.
