Answer 1

I modified the css, as i am using bootstrap 3.3.6

.form-group.required label:after{   
color: #d00;   
font-family: 'FontAwesome'; 
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 10px;
content: "\f069"; 
top:4px;   
position: absolute;   
 margin-left: 8px;
}

the HTML

<div class="form-group required">
 <label for="return_notes"><?= _lang('notes') ?></label>
 <textarea class="form-control" name="return_notes" id="return_notes"  required="required"></textarea>
</div>
