Asterisk
The "*" symbol is known as an Asterisk. In UI design, the asterisk can replace standard Star Symbols and act as a marker for required Input Fields or as a reference note in Forms, text editors, and documentation interfaces.
Fun fact: The asterisk symbol is a wildcard symbol in search queries and programming. It represents any character in programming notation, so it can match any number of characters in searches and code.
For example, searching "cat*" finds "cats," "catch," and "catalog"—anything starting with "cat." This function makes the asterisk symbol a tool for pattern matching across almost all computing systems.
Copy and paste the HTML or Unicode codes displayed below to your project's HTML. Add <meta charset="UTF-8"> in your HTML head to display the symbol correctly.
