Any delta wing, or wing shaped like a triangle, has pointed tips.

Mirage fighters are a good example of this type of wing.

The reference from which you are quoting, may be talking about hypothetical pointed wings though - imagine a rectangular wing from an ordinary general aviation aircraft, that has been modified to have pointed tips.

Think of a Spitfire with pointy wingtips instead of rounded tips.
