But clearly you start with the asterisk

No, you edit the message so that the typo has a * after it, since asterisks indicate a footnote. Then you post the corrective message with the asterisk at the beginning.

Just edit the original message with [sic]

I've always been asterisk at the end, but mostly because it's easier for me to type that way.

Asterisk starts a bullet list in a lot of richtext fields that use markdown
