®egistered ™rademarks and ©opyrights


I just had an interesting question posted by one of our clients regarding the glyphs palette and keystrokes. They were wondering how to type a registered trademark, copyright, and standard trademark. (The common keystroke for all three is option/alt + 2 for ™, option/alt + g for ©, and option/alt + r for ®.)

The bigger question behind this though is why the glyphs palette doesn't show common keystrokes for alternate characters, especially with accents! What it really should do is give you a keyfinder option. However, this is not deemed necessary or urgent so don't hold your breath. Here is a couple of sites that will help you if you are in need of a certain key stroke: Mac OSX Keystroke Guide and Windows Keyboard Shortcuts.
