Now that we have discussed the topic of copyright laws for our Media Asset Creation course, I have had a few people inquire as to how to create the copyright symbol, registered trademark symbol, etc. As some of you may have noticed, the option key on MacOS functions as a modifier key just like the shift key. Creating shortcuts for special characters can be achieved by either holding the option key and pressing an additional letter or number key – or by holding the option and shift key simultaneously and then pressing an additional letter or number key. Here are a few examples of this feature:
option+2 ™
option+g ©
option+r ®
option+shift+k
To see the complete list of special characters: option+command+T
When you have the special characters window open you can also double click on the character to insert it into your document. For more information regarding special characters, HTML name/number codes, and glyph, check out this site:
