I am using libreoffice 4.4.5.2. I was writing a document and had to insert a formula. In the formula I had to show w* for complex conjugate of. I wrote the command
w^{*}
in the formula editor, but unfortunately it did not worked (it took it as multilication). So please someone give me a command to represent the asterisks or * as superscript.
Thank you
You can use the asterix as character: w^"*"
‘(U+002A) Asterix’ is the standard character used to indicate multiplication. However, there are quite a few homologues, and I bet that one of the following will work:
*(U+002A) ASTERIX
٭(U+066D) ARABIC FIVE POINTED STAR⁎(U+204E) LOW ASTERIX∗(U+2217) ASTERIX OPERATOR⚹(U+26B9) SEXTILE✱(U+2731) HEAVY ASTERIX﹡(U+FE61) SMALL ASTERIX＊(U+FF0A) FULLWIDTH ASTERIXAnd then, because I like showing off, there is:-
ℂ(U+2102) DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL C(the set of complex numbers)
⊹(U+22B9) HERMITIAN CONJUGATE MATRIXPS
I found ٭(U+066D) to be ridiculously difficult to delete. Neither [Delete] (U+007F) DELETE nor [←] (U+0008) BACKSPACE would remove it. Only selection+[Delete] did it.
If this helps then please tick the answer (

Well that’s natural. That character is “ARABIC FIVE POINTED STAR” (as correctly mentioned in the answer); it uses RTL script. As such, it needs “reversed” (from LTR point of view) handling: Del removes it when cursor is to the right of it, and Backspace works for it when cursor is to the left of it.
{{}*{}} also works
I think the accepted answer (^ " * ") will have the * too far and too small.
and the answer with {{}*{}} resulting * that seems too big, it is more like multiplication.
In order to get the result that i think is compatible with other math (for example with your plot),
I found that this seems to be the best, for example, ^%Ux2217.
but in my case i have to add the symbol to the list first, using the method here.
