I use it for multiplication.
The unit to represent pound is lb. It could be that * also represents pound.

Symbol to multiply especially in algebra is used and the letter x is part of an equation.

it's the multiplication sign that you use for the calculator that you use on the computer. when you don't want to use the calculator on the screen . the sign is on the computer by the numbers that is not above the letters

usually it means multiply in math, it could also be a notice or w/e and you can usually find one near the bottom of a page or so.....but its more than likely multiply

usually computers accept the asterisk ( * ) as a sign of multiplication instead of an X.
You are welcome! (cause you said thank you)
