Default Use of * in Excel

I am stripping extraneous characters out of some data but having trouble
finding the * character. If I do a find and replace for * to replace with
(delete) it wipes out all the data in that column. Also, I can't filter for
"contains *" because it thinsk all the entries have it. Is * a special
character? Is there anything I can do so the program will recognize it as a
text character rather than as some functional character? Thanks!
