How To Install Keyboard Nida Unicode For Mac Shortcut

MAC

First of all, up until recently I had no idea that it is possible to add unicode characters using the keyboard on Mac. Turns out – it is possible! Here is what you need to do.
Go to System Preferences – Keyboard – Input Sources. You’ll see languages you are using on the left (in my case it is British). Click the “+” button at the bottom

Scroll to the very end of the list and you’ll see “Others” there. Select the only value in the list on the right which is “Unicode Hex Input”. Voila!

Now you can enter hex unicode values using your keyboard. Just press the Alt button (keep it pressed) and add the hex unicode number (for example 0041 – which will give you letter A).

This can be very helpful if you are working with Private Use Area characters and have a reference file with the numbers you need. In this case you don’t need to use any additional software to select and copy the glyphs.
