Comment (by afercia):

 Just tested a bit using:
 Safari 10, VoiceOver 7, on macOS Sierra
 Firefox 50, NVDA 2016.3, on Windows 10
 IE 11, JAWS 17, on Windows 10
 and the "asterisk" is always announced as `star`. Also, worth noting since
 this character is actually part of the label, it will be announced both
 when reading out the label and when focusing the related field. For
 example, when you tab and focus the Email field, screen readers will
 announce `Email star ...` which is a bit annoying:
