Lately I have been working with Unicode a lot. If you are on a Mac, there is an easy way to use it—

•Click the apple.

•Go to System Preferences.

•Go to the “Input Sources” tab.

•Check the little ☑ that says “Keyboard & Character Viewer.”

•You're all set now. On the top bar with the time and such you will see a little box with an asterisk (✳) inside it, ❸ buttons on the top left, and ➑ inside of it on the far right. Click it.

•Click the one that says “Show Character Viewer.”

•Select, under “View,” “Roman” if it is not already selected.

•You're all set!

•Remember, this is only for Mac. On PCs, hold down the “alt” key until the little keypad comes up and type in the code for each symbol. A list can be found here:

'Note: also click the Show Keyboard Viewer option to have a keyboard come up onto the screen. Click where you want the text to be then you can use that little keyboard to type, though it's a bit slower.'
