I get an error when running md to pdf as follows (using Pandoc 2.8 a 
nightly build from 12-Oct-2019):

Error producing PDF.
! Package inputenc Error: Unicode character ∗ (U+2217)
(inputenc)                not set up for use with LaTeX.

See the inputenc package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...                                              
                                                  
l.481 ∗

Try running pandoc with --pdf-engine=xelatex.


When I runt the test code you provide above, I get:

0000000 e2 88 97 20 e2 88 97 20 e2 88 97 0a
0000014


I can't do the suggested using xelatex because then my images don't show up 
in pdf (but they do without xelatex).

Note, when using xelatex, I do see the &lowast;, but it is not centered, 
hence the need for latex markup for centering (unless there is a different 
way to do this).

Sincerely,
Jeff Mcneill
