Comment (by afercia):

 @juliemoynat I'm not sure the real problem is whether screen readers
 announce that character as 'star' or 'asterisk'. I think the real problem
 is whether they announce it or not.

 Screen readers do have verbosity settings. When the verbosity it set to
 low, some punctuation and other characters are not announced. That would
 produce again the problem that what is visible on the screen it's not
 spoken by screen readers.
