Well, in the text area of the Keyboard panel of System Preferences there are
several options.
“(“ “c” “)" changes to ©
the equivalent with a t will put in a trademark.
For that matter the option key with other alphanumeric keys will produce quite
a bit of special characters, for the sighted one can look at the input sources
area of system preferences but and press modifier keys to see how they change
keyboard input. The accent keys are a bit special for example pressing option-e
followed by e gives you é (e accent accuse )
MacOS has smart quotes on by default but they might be turned off in mail.
While in the text input area pressing vo-shift-M and select substitutions and
there you should be able to adjust some things.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn
