Star-shaped symbol (8)

I believe the answer is:

asterisk

'star-shaped symbol' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for asterisk that I've seen before include "Star of typography" , "Star-like symbol as reference mark" , "Star-shape on the page" , "Sign" , "Text-marking symbol" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and the Evening Standard.
