Asterisk
The asterisk ( ), from Late Latin , from Ancient Greek , ''asteriskos'', "little star", is a typographical symbol. It is so called because it resembles a conventional image of a heraldic star.

In English, an asterisk is usually five- or six-pointed in sans-serif typefaces, six-pointed in serif typefaces, and six- or eight-pointed when handwritten.

Asterisk (liturgy)
The Asterisk ( el, ἀστερίσκον, asteriskov; Slavonic: ''Звездица'', ''Zvezdítsa''), or Star-cover (from the Greek ''αστήρ'', ''astêr'', meaning ''star''), is one of the holy vessels used in the Divine Liturgy of the Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches. The asterisk symbolizes the Star of Bethlehem. Historically, it was also used in some parts of the Roman Catholic Church. Form An asterisk is a small, folding metal covering which keeps the veil and Aër (larger veil) from disturbing the particles of bread on the diskos (paten). The asterisk is made of two strips of metal laid one on top of the other and joined in the center by a brad or screw. When the two pieces are turned perpendicular to each other it forms a cross. The ends of the metal pieces are bent down so that it makes a standing frame. Sometimes, in Greek Catholic usage, a small star will be suspended from the asterisk where the two strips of metal are joined. Am ...

Asterism (typography)
In typography, an asterism, ⁂, is a typographic symbol consisting of three asterisks placed in a triangle, which is used for a variety of purposes. The name originates from the astronomical term for a group of stars.From the Greek ''astēr'' (star) Alexander Humez, Nicholas D. Humez (2008). ''On the Dot: The Speck That Changed the World'', p. 72 & 186n. . The asterism was originally used as a type of dinkus in typography, though increasingly rarely. It can also be used to mean "untitled" or author or title withheld as seen, for example, in some editions of ''Album for the Young'' by composer Robert Schumann ( № 21, 26, and 30).
