I was on the fence with the asterisk, as that might be considered a punctuation mark, but I don't think it is, because you don't use it in formal writing, but you do use it in practical writing.
"The caret is used only as an accent symbol for pronunciation", said the professor. * [English teacher e meritus] In the case of the parentheses, both must be used to contain extraneous items within a sentence (unless in the case of arithmetic, of course.) The exceptions to this rule are as follows: When the parentheses may contain only one alternative word within a sentence; such as a woman's maiden name when writing a legal document, in stead of "Jane Doe-Smith". Then herewith we must ask; Why is it this way? Because it is!
There you go... I covered all of them in a couple sentences, LOL!!!!

PS: I didn't Google or look up anything.
