Can you start a sentence with symbol?

You can't start a sentence with a symbol in standard English grammar. Sentences need to begin with a capital letter and typically contain words.

However, there are some cases where symbols might be used in a sentence, but they wouldn't be the first thing you see:

* Titles: Some titles, especially in academic writing, may start with a symbol like "&" or "#".

* Informal Writing: In informal online communication, symbols like emojis might be used within a sentence, but not technically at the beginning.

* Code: In programming languages, sentences can be written using symbols.
