Is the button the number 8? yes
***** SPOILER *****
On most QWERTY keyboards, the number 8 key has its alternate character (*) immediately above it. On a black keyboard with white letters, this creates an image of a snowflake falling on a snowman against a black sky.
Over the course of his job as an accountant, Huang presses the 8 key many times. He goes home satisfied with a good day's work.
Well done, Balin, on the solution, and well done, Hominid, on your persistence. I think this is the first puzzle where I made the main character a non-causcasian when the solution didn't hinge on it. And I didn't even kill him. Affirmative Lateral Action in force.
