Re: org-cite styles don't allow * in them

[John Kitchin]

I am also not a fan of using Unicode here and prefer a simple ascii asterisk. That works fine for me so far, but I am not a heavy user of bold markup and citations. 

As I mentioned there is the same problem for links, and in the last 10 years I can’t recall an issue being reported with bold.

I am not a big fan of using unicode characters, but otherwise I have no
objections and no better ideas (except a general desire to solve similar
parser issues more generally).

However, I am not org-cite's maintainer. So, I would prefer to hear from
Nicolas before implementing anything myself.

Best,
