TLDR : Answer Summary

When filling out a form that requires your place of birth but your passport lists it as two cities separated by an asterisk (e.g., London*Greenwich), you can use a hyphen or a comma to separate the two cities instead. This solution allows you to provide the information without using the asterisk, which is not allowed in the form.
