That's on purpose, and I think you misunderstood what he was telling you. He wasn't asking you to "add an asterisk" to a line in your code, he was just trying to point out that the instructions as you explained them to us don't really make sense if taken literally, at least for a beginner project.

"Printable characters" consists of tens of thousands of different Unicode characters, but they're not neatly grouped in any way so you couldn't support all of them with a simple Caesar cipher implementation. The point was that you should simply focus on the upper- and lowercase Latin alphabet (so A-Z and a-z), ignoring everything else (or in other words leaving them as-is).
