What is an "asterisk"?
An asterisk (*) is a symbol used in writing and printing for various purposes. It often serves as a reference mark to indicate a footnote or additional information at the bottom of a page, allowing readers to find supplementary details without interrupting the flow of the main text. In mathematics and programming, the asterisk is used to denote multiplication or to represent a wildcard character that can stand in for any value. Additionally, it can signify omission or censorship in written content, such as replacing letters in sensitive words. The asterisk is a versatile tool that enhances clarity and functionality in written communication.
