Which has nothing to do with Emojis.
Choosing "Emoji & Symbols" in the Edit menu of most any app is the fastest way to bring up the same character palette you apparently got some other way. See?

Still, when I double-clicked the icon for the ZWS, it happily inserted it at the current cursor position in the open app. You will find the ZWS between the two p's in "app" in the previous sentence. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
