How to use special characters on keyboard without pressing shift key?

How can I use number keys on top of the keyboard just for special characters like (@#$) without pressing the shift key to use that? For example, when pressing the num2 key, just show @; I searched about that and understood can do that with AutoHotkey, but I don't find a script to do that, which is no problem. I just want to use numeric keys located at the top of the keyboard. Use that just for special characters.
