Custom numbering style using the number of Symbols instead of Numbers












1














Is there any possible way to count by the number of a symbol ?
For instant, if I want to print 4 versions of a letter, I assigned arabic{#1} numbers which shows:



1 2 3 4



What I want is to show like this:



* ** *** ****
Or; different symbols instead of for each number.
for example:



 * for 1
# for 2


and etc.



I'm preparing different versions of exam and I want to show version number by symbol instead of number.
Thanks in advance.
