Here are the characters featured on the current P5X banners:

Each pull on the featured banner costs one platinum ticket. You're guaranteed to get one four-star every ten pulls and one five-star every 80 pulls. If you pull a five-star that isn't the featured one, the next five-star you pull is guaranteed to be the featured Phantom Thief.
Alongside the featured character banner, you can also pull for the characters' signature weapons on the Arms Deals weapon banner.
Here are the weapons featured on the current P5X weapon banners:
Nuclear Finisher banner

Each pull on the weapon banner costs one platinum milicoin. This banner has its own rates separate from the featured character banner and the permanent banner, and allows you to choose three weapons (including the featured five-star weapon) as your 'most wanted' to increase their chances of appearing.
You're guaranteed to get at least one four-star every ten pulls, and one five-star every 70 pulls. If you pull a five-star that isn't one of your selected 'most wanted' weapons, the next five-star you pull is guaranteed to be one of your 'most wanted' weapons.
What's the next Persona 5 X banner?
Sega is yet to announce the next Persona 5 X banner. However, if the global version continues to follow the patterns set by the CN version, we may see the five-star Yumi Shiina on the next banner.
Alternatively, we may see the summer versions of Motoha Arai and Tomoko Noge before summer's over. But, of course, this is all just speculation for now, so we'll have to wait and see.
What's the permanent Persona 5 X banner?
The permanent Persona 5 The Phantom X banner, named Phantom Idol Contract, features a standard pool of characters that stay the same across updates. It features five- and four-star Personas, as well as a pool of two-star Personas. This banner requires one gold ticket per draw. You're guaranteed to get one four-star every ten pulls, and one five-star every 80 pulls.
