12 Examples of the Use of the Asterisk

Asterisk

The asterisk is a punctuation mark, one of the least frequent in sentence construction, and usually absent in most texts, especially those that correspond to fiction literature, short stories and novels.

The asterisk can sometimes appear in the framework of the scientific or popular literature, since its meanings are more oriented to what it has to do with that discourse.
