Do Asterisks Go Before or After?

Typically, an asterisk is positioned after a word or phrase and preceding its accompanying footnote. Other characters are also used for this purpose, including †, ‡, superscript numbers (as in Wikipedia), etc.

Do you put the * Before or after?

For editing and footnote purposes, the asterisk will appear before a word that needs correcting or a sentence that needs elaborating, and the additional information will be placed beside a corresponding asterisk at the bottom of the page.

Does an asterisk go before or after a sentence?

When an asterisk and a punctuation mark ( e.g. period, question mark, exclamation mark) appear at the end of a sentence, the asterisk follows the punctuation mark, with no space between them.
