`asterisk` or `asciicircum` are not recognized

Linux <hostname> 6.11.0-26-generic #26~24.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Apr 17 19:20:47 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Describe the bug:
Both of the following keybindings work in sxhkd, but they give an error about the config in swhkd:

super + asterisk
    notify-send test1
super + shift + asciicircum
    notify-send test2

NOTE: On my keyboard layout pressing Shift+* gives ^, which is why the keybinding uses asciicircum. But super + shift + asterisk also works in sxhkd (but not in swhkd).

Expected behavior:
The keybindings should work and run the command

Actual behavior:
Any of the keybindings gives the following errors (only they key name changes, e.g. asterisk or asciicircum):

[2025-06-17T19:22:08Z ERROR swhkd] Config Error: unable to parse config file
[2025-06-17T19:22:08Z ERROR swhkd]  --> /home/sami/.config/swhkd/swhkdrc:4:10
      |
    4 | super + asterisk
      |          ^---
      |
      = expected command

To Reproduce:
Add the above to your swhkdrc.

Please check man swhkd-keys. I believe we parse * literally instead of the phrase asterisk. That should fix your issue

That doesn't work either, I've tried both of the below (individually, not at the same time), but they give the same error:

super + *
    notify-send test3
super + \*
    notify-send test4
