Example 7.10.2. A particular example is the limit over the empty diagram. This gives the final object in the category of (pre)sheaves. It is the presheaf that associates to each object $U$ of $\mathcal{C}$ a singleton set, with unique restriction mappings and moreover this presheaf is a sheaf. We often denote this sheaf by $*$.

The way this is worded, the third sentence might be interpreted as saying that the functor which associates to every object $U$ of $\mathcal{C}$ a singleton set is a sheaf (which is not true)...
