    In the PC keyboard, the symbols and special characters are limited. Only a few special characters are available. For most of the characters, we need to use the Alt codes. There is only one star symbol available on the keyboard. But what if you want a different star symbol? In such a case, you need to use some other methods to enter it.

    Most of the time, we used to copy-paste the special character from the website. If you know the correct alt code for a character, you can insert the character without the long process.
