  2. First, you need to click on the “key” button. This will expand a second row of formatting options where you should see the Special Characters button.

  3. Now you need to just click on the symbol or character you want to use, and it will be added in your post. Update the changes.

Unlike Visual Editor, the text editor in WordPress does not have a special characters button. This means you will have to write the HTML entity pre to add special characters.

To solve this problem, most commonly used special characters have HTML entity names. These names are easy to remember due to their similarity to the real word used for these characters.

To add these signs, you need to append them with an ampersand sign & and end with a semicolon. See the examples below:
