There is a little utility called PopChar by Ergonis software ($15,
I think) that comes in PC and Mac versions that I find handy for

do you mean in the bottom far right of the screen? (Windows)
I bought that little app and tried to apply a tilde (~) in a tempo
indication as an expression but it does not copy the symbol
(I did it with and without Unicode activated).
Any hints?
Thanks
Unfortunately, Finale does not support Unicode. Write and complain,
loudly, or they will never add that functionality.
I have been able to work around this by creating the Unicode symbol
in a word processor, saving it as a TIFF, then importing it into
Finale as a shape expression with embedded graphic. It is a mighty
pain in the neck, though, and I can't imagine what I would have done
if I had had to do all my lyrics this way, for example.
Perhaps Windows keyboards are mapped differently than Mac keyboards,
but I have a tilde on my Mac keyboard, far left, right beside the 1
key, hold down shift to get the tilde. In recent versions of Finale
you can mix fonts and sizes in text expressions, so I see no obstacle
to doing what you want.
