Angular Error assigning “*” to a var declared in scope

Issue

I declared in the scope the var:

$scope.submit = {
  next:"",
  formparams:"",
  value:""
};

In my HTML I have:

<div>
  <div ng-repeat="opcion in menu.opciones">
    <label> Opcion: </label>
    <input id="{{opcion.opcion}}" type="radio" name=grupo
          value="{{opcion.Submit}}+{{opcion.opcion}}" ng-model="submit.next"
          ng-change="submit.value={{opcion.opcion}}" ng-required="true"required> {{opcion.opcion}}                          
    </input>
  </div>
</div>

The array of options contains something like {1,2,3,*}.

When I select, every numeric option is working fine, but when I select the "*" in the console of the browser, the following error appears:

    angular.js:9419 TypeError: a is not a function

And the var is empty.

Solution

In {1,2,3,*} * is being evaluated as an operator when combined with + in the expression {{opcion.Submit}}+{{opcion.opcion}}. Just change it to a character like so {1,2,3,'*'} and it should work.
