| Description | The Unicode character ⁎, or U+204E, is known as the "Low Asterisk". It is part of the "General Punctuation" block and is categorized under the "Punctuation, Other" category in the Unicode standard. As the name suggests, it is an asterisk that is positioned lower than a standard asterisk. The low asterisk is a symbol made up of a small, six-pointed figure that typically represents an omission, a reference to a footnote, or a multiplication operation.

The appearance of the low asterisk can vary depending on the font and size used. |
