Hi, I find it easier just to figure them out myself. They're fairly logical actually and you can determine them in TextEdit or in any text area within any app. The Option key is your modifier for this. In the text area, simply hold down the Option key then press a key to determine it's special character. Here's some common ones for you:
Option-Less than gives Less than or equal to Option Greater than gives Greater than or equal to Option v gives Square Root Option Zero gives Degrees sign. Option p gives pi (π) Option equals gives Not equals Option 4 gives the cent sign. 4 is used for the $ sign so your logical determination is that the ¢ is also attached. HTH. Later...
