Being a long time Windows user, coupled with at least 8 hours of usage 5 days a week. There are small things that are overlooked when considering making a switch to Mac. One of the things that just crossed my mind today – Character Map, or CharMap.
In Windows, all you need to do to bring up this box to insert symbols is go to Start > Run > “Charmap”.
On a Mac, I was stumped. But not for long..
While I can’t say which I prefer, it is a useful tool, and both are just as easy to access.
For starters, you will need to activate it first.
- Under System Preferences > Keyboard & Text.
- Tick the check box next to “Keyboard & Character Viewer”.
Once done, every time you need it,
- Click on the dotted square next to your battery meter, and select “Show Character Viewer”.
Happy Mac-ing! ☺
