Meaning
A keycap showing an asterisk, styled as a small key or button. It commonly stands in for the asterisk key on a keyboard or phone keypad, and can be used to mark a footnote, correction, or starred item. In casual messages it often signals a required field, a wildcard, or a small emphasis, and it can also represent the star symbol in games or ratings. Because the asterisk has several unrelated uses, its meaning depends heavily on context and can be ambiguous.
