Keyboard Shortcuts for Special Characters

by Scott Allen

How to Get Your Very Own Umlaut

Have you ever tried to figure out which key combo makes special characters on either a Mac or a PC? Well, no more guessing! Now you too can make cool symbols for ö’s and ä’s and make your words look German or Scandinavian. Simply click here for an extensive cross-platform reference.

One great thing I noticed from the above linked article:

If you don’t want to remember all these numbers, you should try the little shareware utility PopChar from ergonis software. One click, and PopChar displays a table of all characters of the current font. Select the desired character and it instantly appears in your document. You can also insert HTML symbols. PopChar is available for Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, and Windows.)
