Typing sp ecial characters and symbols
You can type a variety of international and other special symbols and
characters (including characters with diacritical marks, such as accents)

combinations in the fonts available on your computer. 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.
