The menu will have the languages (if more than one) followed by "Show Emoji and Symbols" and "Show Keyboard Viewer". If it's not there, it can be added from the settings (Keyboard preferences -> Input sources -> (Check) Show Input menu...) | |

| May 7, 2017 at 5:51 | comment | added | bauerMusic | @nyxee On OSX (macOS) 10.12.4, these symbols are not there by default. One needs to open the viewer, then open the settings (the littler wheal on top left) Customize List... > (scroll down) > Check Technical Symbols. I was not allowed to post images here, sorry.. | |
| May 6, 2017 at 8:18 | comment | added | nyxee | @bauerMusic, what do u mean by newer systems please? I'm using Mac OS X 10.12.4. Also, please elaborate more on what you're talking about. | |

| Oct 9, 2016 at 18:08 | comment | added | mcw | @Ken is correct - the feature seems to have moved to this location since the question was originally answered. His comment worked for me in OS X Sierra as well. | |

Wow, I was sure that would be some option-key way to type a ⌘. But there isn't! I just looked through every possible variation of the keyboard viewer and it's just... not... there!
