How come my "Insert" menu doesn't have "Symbol"?

[Navylovely]

I cannot find the "Symbol" option on my "Insert" menu in Word. I know I have
used this option before, and the Help option tells me this is where "Insert
Special Character" is supposed to be. But I can't find it. In fact, I cannot
find it anywhere. Any ideas? I'm wondering if it's a glitch in my version or
something. Has anyone else ever had this problem?

All the way on the right in the insert tab, you might have a big button
that says Symbols from which you can pick Symbol. Or you might just have
a big button Symbol there. It is right to Equations

You might have accidentally removed it. Right-click any toolbar. Select
Customize. Right-click the Insert menu. Select Reset.
