In markdown, if you use a single asterisk it doesn’t mean much unless it’s part of a list. However, if you use two, it will italicize the text between them. Britain, for example, would bring Brtan because the T and A (yes, I’m aware of the abbreviation) would be between them.
edit: Seven days later, I saw this post again. I realize now you weren’t talking about the formatting but how many instances of the offending character to replace, like non global stream editing or sort of like ƒ.
You’re right! They misspelled Br*ta*n!
edit: Should have considered that we’re rendering markdown before I used asterisks so wantonly.
I th*nk something broke for you. Usually it only messes with a single letter for us.
