keycap * Emoji

Literally representing an asterisk symbol on a keyboard, the keycap * emoji is often used figuratively to indicate a correction or addition to a previous message, similar to how an asterisk is used in writing to denote a footnote, and in slang, it can be used to imply a sarcastic or ironic tone, as if the user is correcting themselves or adding a comment in a humorous way, its meaning can also be related to the use of asterisks in online communities to censor or bleep out profanity, giving it a somewhat playful or cheeky connotation, and in some cases, it is used to add emphasis or draw attention to a particular part of a message.
