In some apps like Whatsapp, and also on MS Teams, enclosing a word tightly
between two asterisks is like turning the word as "bold". I thought that
may be the reason, the person may have written it with some such kind of

Often I am seeing replies like:

where *upper*(command_String) like '%mycommand%'

This worked perfectly - thanks! *(after removing the * from upper)

I've seen this on some replies to me too.
I'm pretty sure the person who replied did NOT add the asterisks.
