Mac Special Characters
Posted by Wendy
There are bunch of symbols that can be created using keyboard shortcuts as I mentioned on my previous article : 100 Mac Keyboard Shortcuts for Creating Symbols. Unfortunately, not all of available symbols on your Mac can be called out with keystrokes. That's when Character Palette comes in handy here.
Character Palette
For all applications which are specially designed to run on Mac OS X, you can open the Character Palette. There are two ways to open it : navigating through the Flag or accessing via Edit Menu; The latter is easier.
The Flag is located on the right side of your menu bar. If you cannot see the Flag, you should activate it first from your International Preferences Pane (the bottom check box inside Input Menu tab). After you've got the Flag, you can click on it, choose Show Keyboard Viewer and your Character Palette will appear. You can refer back here to get to know more about Input Menu.
