Start by clicking the Menu bar icon and select “Show Emoji & Symbols”, another way of launching this viewer is the keyboard shortcut of pressing Control + Command + Space. You can access more symbols, special characters and even emojis in the “ Character Viewer” on you Mac. But don’t worry there’s more I can show you. You might not find all the symbols in the option I gave you above as there’s a lot of symbols that cannot be covered by the key on your keyboard and the shortcuts are limited by your device. Then you can learn the shortcut for the symbols you need. You can then press the modifiers keys “Option, Shift or Command”, the screen will then show you a different keyboard with the symbols you can type using the modifier keys above.
To launch the virtual keyboard, click “Show Keyboard Viewer”. To check, click on your Menu bar you should see the “Show Keyboard Viewer” as one of the options. Now that’s done, the Keyboard viewer should be on your Menu bar.
