Should asterisk come before or after

A footnote is an explanation or a comment at the bottom of a page that refers back to a specific part of the text.If you are writing a book, you might have footnotes included and you might signify to the reader that there is a footnote by using the asterisk at the end of the sentence.It depends on the manner and intension for which you wish to use it.If there are multiple footnotes (more than one), use one asterisk for the first footnote, two asterisks for the second and so on.If you are using an asterisk to give your reader more information (or some fun fine print), the extra info should always appear at the bottom of the same page.

Asterisks are used to signal a footnote and sometimes censor language!Of course, if you have multiple footnotes within a single page, asterisks are just the start.The asterisk (/ ˈ æ s t (ə) r ɪ s k / *), from late latin asteriscus, from ancient greek ἀστερίσκος, asteriskos, little star, is a typographical symbol.
