• If necessary, click the Zoom tool on the palette to increase the size of the glyphs.
• If you need a glyph's Unicode code point — for HTML authoring, for example —
you can see the Unicode code in the lower part of the palette.
• To insert a glyph at the text insertion point, double-click the glyph in the Glyphs
palette.
• If you frequently use specific glyphs from a font, you can save those glyphs as
favorites for quick access. To create a favorites list, first click the expander next
to Favorite Glyphs in the Glyphs palette (Window menu). Then, simply drag a
glyph to an empty cell in the Favorite Glyphs area. To delete a favorite,
Control+click/right+click the glyph and use the context menu. The Unicode value
of the selected glyph displays at the right bottom corner (above the Favorite
Glyphs pane).
Displaying invisible characters
The Invisibles option (View menu) is always helpful when editing text or fine-tuning
typography because it allows you to see common "invisible characters" such as spaces,
tabs, and paragraph returns.
Inserting special characters
There are all kinds of special characters for typographic and formatting purposes. You
can enter such special characters using keyboard commands or choose them from the
Utilities > Insert Character submenu. Each character displays differently when
invisibles are showing (View > Invisibles).
Inserting spaces
To insert a specific type of space — such as an em space — at the text insertion point,
choose Utilities > Insert Character > Special > Em Space or Utilities > Insert
Character > Special (nonbreaking) > Em Space. The options in the Nonbreaking
Space submenu act as "glue" between two words or numbers, for example, preventing
breaks from occurring between the two "glued" elements at the end of a line.
Inserting other special characters
To insert a special character other than a space — such as an em dash or a current page
number placeholder character — at the text insertion point, choose Utilities > Insert
Character > Special or Utilities > Insert Character > Nonbreaking Special.
Special characters (breaking and non breaking) can be searched for using the
Find/Change palette, see "Finding and changing text".
Specifying character language
You can specify the language to be used for hyphenation and spell checking by applying
a character language to text. This lets you mix words from different languages in the
