Comment (by juliemoynat):

 @afercia I thought again about the subject and I'm wondering why do we
 have a problem with the asterisk being told a "star" by screen readers? It
 is told like this everywhere in the OS, each time there is the character.
 And the pronunciation can be changed in the screen reader settings if the
 user doesn't like it. Am I missing something?
