Our UI currently doesn't support any form of message edits, neither for your own nor incoming messages. Thus we don't support message editing and just display the fallback correction message for edits (* <corrected content>).
Fully edits likely requires having a link between the matrix message ID and the ID of the message in the UI. It would also have to be fully supported in the API so we can correctly mark edits in chat logs.
We could probably support editing your own messages without any UI additions with the UI features described for replies described in Bug 1701206 and then just show the fallback edit message.
As such, this could probably be split in separate bugs for sending edits of your own messages and displaying edits in the message timeline.

One thing that makes me a bit weary about supporting this at this point is that it doesn't seem to be part of the spec yet: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2676
