`*` dereferences a pointer. It turns a pointer into a value. `&` is the address operator. It turns a value into a pointer. `*` and `&` are inverses of each other, like `+` and `-`. So, `*&` cancels out, and `*&*p` is just `*p`. and `*p` dereferences the `char*` and turns it into `char`, and you see the first character.
