What Does The Star (*) After UTexture Mean?

That’s the weirdest thing for me – I get that it’s a pointer, but why does it come after the variable in Unreal C++, but seemingly always before in regular C++ examples online?

Declaring pointers; asterisk on the left or right of the space between the type and name?

Why is the asterisk before the variable name, rather than after the type?

Those might help explain it.
