I think an ampersand (&) would work if it isn't used elsewhere in the book.
A quick search should tell you if it is used. Fortunately, ampersand is also
a single-cell character in Braille like the asterisk is.
You could put a proofreader's note, or perhaps the symbol could be used in
the author's explanation.
Hope this helps.

It sounds like it is a fancy (ornamental) mark used like a footnote
marker. Since the asterisk is already used for separating verses, I'd
use some other single symbol rather than a whole word like ornament or
pepper. I'm not sure what I would use as that character though.
Squinted at in just the right way, an ampersand (&) might look like a
pepper. That would of course depend on whether & is used in the text.
I just proofed a book of modern poetry and the author almost never wrote
"and" but always used &.
