I would make it like this:

"""
    *(s::Union{AbstractString, Char}, t::Union{AbstractString, Char})

Concatenate strings and/or characters, producing a [`String`](@ref). This is equivalent

Aside from some of the linalg code, typically there isn't a space after the comma in Union. Probably best to keep consistency within this file and alike.
