The label accepts the block, so you can do this:

<%= f.label :test do %>
   <span>*</span>
<%end%>

This should do it:

<%= f.label :test, 'test<span>*</span>'.html_safe %>

You need to indicate the rails that the line you give it does not need to be disinfected. Use String#html_safe.

<%= f.label :test, "test<span>*</span>".html_safe %>
