Typing special characters and symbols

You can type a variety of international and other special symbols and
characters (including characters with diacritical marks, such as accents)
by pressing combinations of keys.

The Key Caps program, which is installed with your system software,
shows you the characters produced when you type certain keys and key
combinations in the fonts available on your server. Choose Key Caps from
the Apple (K) menu, then choose the font from the Key Caps menu.

To have Key Caps show more options for special characters, press each of
these keys or key combinations: Option, Shift, Shift-Option, Shift-x, and
Option-x.
