※ ( 米印 )

＊(星印)

these interchange.

in japanese : something something japan ※1
※1 country in asia
it look like kanji 米(kome) so you see this use on rice shop too.

＊ usually interchangble, but it has soem own use. it use to indicate that it has something to with the text, like in this ex.:

i bought kewpie strap, make up and clothes, then i go home and take bath ...................................................................................
.......................................................................................
＊my mom went to store with me
