Asterisk

Sometimes referred to as the star or big dot, the asterisk is a symbol ( * ) commonly found above the "8" key on standard United States keyboards. The asterisk is used to represent a wild card or wild character. For example, when typing *.TXT in a search or find field, the computer would look for any file ending with .TXT.
