How do you make the star symbol?

Question

I have looked up the answers to this because I know it's been asked before & I tried the whole ALT thing with the different numbers & different combinations but the only one I wanted specifically was the star symbol & I can't find it! Anyone know? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You can do it by typing
ampersand pound 10029 semicolon
✭
& # 10029 ; but take out all the spaces.
It may not show up on all browsers (I'm using firefox and can see it here). It's like this because Yahoo! is using the UTF-8 encoding.
Here are some more:
10032: ✰
10025: ✩

Answer 2

Start
Run
Type in: charmap
Will open a window that shows all the symbols you can't type
Go to the one you want
Click on it and you will get a popup that shows you the key combination for it...or
Click the Copy button at the bottom and then paste it into your document

Answer 3

Well, obviously SHIFT-8 is an asterisk.
The Alt trick I think only works with Microsoft Word Processors.

Answer 4

If you were not refering to the Shift+8 carachter (*), and wanted something like what you see in Webdings, then read this.

Answer 5

for a nice five-point star, open character map (programs > accessories > system tools > character map) and go to the font 'wingdings'. the five-point star is character code 0xAB. just select the star and copy it. paste it into your word processor or whatever to use it.

Answer 6

If you mean the star symbol used in IM, try (*).
If you meant something else, I am not sure.
Have a good night!

Answer 7

it is in your Number keypad, if you are using spanish its shift + the key next to the enter, if you are using english then it is shift + 8
