★✩★✩★✩★✩★✩★✩★✩★✩★✩★✩★✩★✩★✩★✩★✩★✩★✩★✩★✩★✩How to enter some of the symbols with the alt key combo.
Here is a link to the such as alt+3 for ♥ and alt+1 for ☺
Be sure to use your numeric pad (as the numbers on the top row of your keyboard won’t work) and turn your num lock on and your caps lock off!
alt key combo chart .
Notice, the symbol won't appear until after your release the alt key, as the number sequence can get into the hundreds.
★ solid star = Alt + 9733
✩ star outline = Alt + 9734
Hope it helps.
Update
— ALT+0151 m-dash
° ALT+0176 degree
é ALT+130 e-acute
ö ALT+148 o-umlaut
¢ ALT+0162 cents
html codes (remove asterisks in the second position)
&*#9733; = ★
&*#9734; = ☆
&*#10047 = ✿
&*#10048 = ❀
This definitely helps. Thanks Lisa Kay!★★★★★★★★★★★★
I just can't figure out the Alt + code for ✿
Oh drat, I was sittin' here trying to do it for a min or 2, then I look up and see that you say I need a number pad... lol my laptop only has the row of numbers at the top. No wonder it wasn't working. I really should learn to read directions a little better :)
Kit★, I think for laptops you use the fn key first - wherever that is... I don't have a laptop in front of me.
Brilliant! Thanks for the info Lisa Kay ☺
Eh, I can't figure it out, I'll stick with copy & paste ☺
You mean the star, Kit★? I can't get it to work either. Maybe ✿Michelle✿ can tell us what she did.

✔ just practicing I like the tick but copying and pasting is going to be time consuming if I have to keep clicking back to this post to copy it, is their an alt+ code for the tick
If You have a laptop you can go to the start button type on screen keyboard in the search. Then go options on the keyboard click numeric and you cab use it. sounds like alot but it's not. Really
Adele, I usually have my word-processing program (MS Word) open while I update things on GRs. I just copy the ✔ from there and paste into GRs. I'll look for the alt+code, though.
★, ✿ ☆, ❀ ✔ ❥ ❤ ✯ ❅ ❄ ❦ 💕 💔 ♡ 💜 ☑ ☺ ☺ ☠ ☃ ☀ ☁ ☂ ☾ ☪Just messing around with some html code
Looks good, Danielle. ☺ Oh, love some of the additional hearts: ❥
Just put your cursor/mouse up to the left (or right) of the symbol posted to copy it. Click the left mouse key and hold down while moving the mouse until the star is highlighted. Then right mouse click to copy.
Or, if you type (most) everything in WinWord first (before posting to GoodReads) like I do, you can use the MS Gothic or Malgun Gothic fonts. To see what is available, use the "insert symbol" command. If you don't have it, here are some popular ones for you to copy.
Some more symbols for copying.
