On your Mac, if you go to the system preferences and choose “Keyboard”,
you can check the box that says “show keyboard and emoji viewers in menu
bar”. This puts a little icon in the menu bar that allows you to pull up the
two viewers from the desktop… the Emoji viewer is the same one you get from
the Mail program, but they Keyboard viewer gives you a diagram of the keyboard
layout. If you then press things like the “command”, “shift”, or
“option” keys with the keyboard viewer open it will show you what symbols
you have available.

straightened me out about the character viewer; for anybody else who has a Mac
and didn’t know it was there, it’s under Edit in Mail (and in the Finder,
too) but it isn’t called Character Viewer - it’s called “Emojis and
Symbols” There are hundreds of them, and I had to scroll down quite a ways
to find the little heart. I was searching for it using the alternate
characters on the keyboard (hold down Option or Shift+Option while typing the
keyboard characters), which is mostly alphabetic things like vowels with
accents, plus financial symbols like the euro sign and the pound sign.
