How to use character entities
There are two ways, one is simply copy and pasting. This does not work on all websites so you will want to try to stick to the other way. The second is using the code(which it will usually convert into anyway, when you go back and edit where ever it is that you placed the entity you'll see the code instead.
It starts with the and symbol, pound sign (&#)
and then a number here
; and a semicolon at the end
so it should go like this
&#[Insert number here];
Let's try it!
okay so we want a star and the number is 9734
plug it into the code and it should look like this ☆
That's it!
