Yuck, images ;-)

Perhaps this:

  <strong title="Mandatory field.">*</strong>

But I'm not sure if JAWS recognises title attributes on anything other
than links? So perhaps a link should be used (linking to an explanation
of mandatory perhaps):

  <a href="#mandatory" title="Mandatory Field.">*</a>
