No support. I've used a workaround for this many times:

Do this

add [1] to [list v]

And then use

<[list v] contains [answer] ?>

All it requires,,, is being creative

You can have each symbol in a list (I.e. Numbers) and check of the list contains the symbol, so I don't support.

Well, the list can't have every number/symbol because first of all, there are TONS of symbols and an infinite number of numbers, so that list would be pretty long.

<[list v] contains (letter (1) of [number]) ?>

for all the letters
:s

for all the symbols.
Then you could make a block called letter, number, or symbol which looks like:

define letter, number, or symbol(char)
switch costume to [other v]
switch costume to (char)
if <(costume #) = [1]> then
set [type v] to [number]
end
if <(letter (length of (char)) of (char)) = [l]> then
set [type v] to [letter]
end
if <(letter (length of (char)) of (char)) = [s]> then
set [type v] to [symbol]
end

I don't think there is necroposting in Suggestions, really.

if <((answer) * (1)) = (answer)> then 
is number::grey
else
is letter or symbol::grey
end

Unless said suggestion is Rejected, or a Duplicate

OP,

if <((answer) * (1)) = (answer)> then 
is number::grey
else
is letter or symbol::grey
end

You still can't find out whether something is a symbol or a letter though.
Plus, this workaround is not intuitive - a new scratcher would never guess this, as it relies on the way Scratch internally works and interprets strings and numbers. That behaviour could also easily change within an update, so the workaround is unreliable.

Ever had a project that had to use only numbers/letters/symbols? You might have to do something like this:

when flag clicked
forever
if <(answer) = (1)
end
if <(answer) = (2)
end
if <(answer) = (3)
end
if <(answer) = (4)
end
if <(answer) = (5)
end
if <(answer) = (6)
end
etc.

Well, a good suggestion would be to have a block that detects if the string is a number, symbol, or letter, Like this!

([] is [number v])
([] is [letter v])
([] is [symbol v])

Here is an example of the new block in action:

When clicked
ask [give me a number!] and wait
if <(answer) is [number v]> then
say [That's a cool number!]
else
say [Not a number :(]
end

So basically, It is a Reporter block that would most likely be in the |Sensing| Section of the Block Palette.
If you say:

say ((3) is [number v)

then it will come out saying “True”.

This is my Idea, and please follow this Topic, and support!

if <([abs v] of (answer)) > [0]> then 
Say number
  

else
Say string
end

<((x)+(0))= (x)> // is a number

when green flag clicked
number or letter::custom
define number or letter
forever
set [letter v] to [a]
set [letter v] to [b]
set [letter v] to [c]
set [letter v] to [d]
...
end
ask [type in a number.] and wait
if <(answer) = <[a] or <[b] or <[c] or <...>>>> then
say [that is not a number.]
else
say [that is a number!]
end

Semi support, workaround:

if <([abs v] of (answer)) > [0]> then 
Say number
  

else
Say string
end
