What is the result when the Kleene Star is applied to the Language with No Words?

The Word with No Letters can't be in the results, because that would mean the LwNW contained a word.

The empty set.

There's an EMACS function that turns graphical HASKELL and PERL operators into corresponding UNICODE symbols (e.g. -> becomes → and [] becomes ∅). It's extremely silly and useless.

The Kleene Star is normally applied to an alphabet, not a language.

Yes, but does it support the ubiquitous optimization operator, the interrobang‽

It does now.

No, it's usually defined in terms of sets and applied on whatever you want.

Sorry, I was really drunk when I posted >>8, and am in fact drunk right now. By definition though, the Kleene Star always produces a set with at least the empty string (or whatever you define the empty element as), therefore the OP must have been drunk as well when posting.

Or at least, feigning drunk. Tell the Sussman to pass me another beer.

I agree, by definition ∅^* = {λ}
And there is no contradiction, despite what the OP seems to think
