I happened to notice that an asterisk (*) has appeared next to my name. This started after I tested my code on an online compiler. I also went through other Codeforces blogs, but I am still unsure how to determine who copied my code. Could someone please explain how this can be identified?

It usually means you are participating unrated in this contest
ok got it thanks
The * just means you're an unofficial participant (Since your rating must be <1600 to officially participate in div 3)
If a submission is flagged for cheating the verdict will be "Skipped". In any case, if the code in the online compiler you use is public you shouldn't use it during contests
yup thanks just research about it
Username checks out.
ok and thanks
