Asterisk

The asterisk ( * ) is a reference mark used to indicate that further information is found at the bottom of the page or elsewhere; the asterisk is used when footnote numbers are not used.

Example

On a menu, an asterisk after the breakfast heading would tell you to look at the bottom of the page where you would find out that breakfast is served only at certain times of the day.
