of special characters. A popular type of a special character

is known as "Emoji." Emojis can be used

anywhere you can type text. In the example of the Messages application,

a Special Characters button appears in the right side

of my typing field. I can now pick from the list

of the many different Emojis.

Within an application

where there may be no indication to include special characters,

I can access them

by going into the Edit menu and choosing "Special Characters..."

The bottom row

categorizes the different special characters which are available.

Double-click the character

to include it within your text.

Special characters also include international symbols, mathematical symbols,

and just about anything

you may not ever use.
