Asterisk

An asterisk (*) is a symbol that directs the reader’s attention to the bottom of the page for an explanatory note, such as a footnote or reference.
The note that accompanied the asterisk mentioned the possible mythical nature of the author's account, which made many readers sceptical of its veracity.
In more informal writing, it is considered acceptable to use an asterisk to note a reference, but in formal essays or research, numbered references are required.
A newer use for the asterisk is to correct a typographical error in a digital message, such as a text or email. When you mistype a word or are auto¬corrected in error, you may follow your message with the asterisk and the correct spelling.
Do you need anything to eat or is there something you need me to get you from the shtore? *store.
Don't worry about stopping on the way home. When I was in town earlier today, I picked you're shoes up. *your.
