U+E002A "" Tag Asterisk Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+E002A "" Tag Asterisk is a special use character within the Tags block, specifically a component used in Unicode’s mechanism for encoding invisible text tags. It represents a tagged version of the standard asterisk character and is primarily employed in conjunction with other tag characters to indicate language or formatting metadata in plain text. This character is intended for invisible processing and is not typically displayed as a visible symbol in standard text rendering, functioning instead as a control-like element for applications that support the Tags feature.
