Custom numbering style using the number of Symbols instead of Numbers
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.

I do not know if this already exists but it is easy to build something of this sort.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{pgffor}
newcommand{nbullets}[1]{%
foreach X in {1,...,#1}
{textbullet}}
begin{document}
3:nbullets{3}, 7:nbullets{7}
renewcommand{labelenumi}{nbullets{value{enumi}}}
begin{enumerate}
item first
item second
item third
item last
end{enumerate}
end{document}
