Comment Comment by htp Took some time to figure out how to type these on a Mac:1. Go to System Preferences => Keyboard => Input Sources2. Add Unicode Hex Input as an input source3. Switch to Unicode Hex Input (assuming you still have the default keyboard shortcuts set up, press Command+Shift+Space)4. Hold Option and type 001f to get the unit separator5. Hold Option and type 001e to get the record separator6. (Hold Option and type a character's code as a 4-digit hex number to get that character)Sadly, this doesn't seem to work everywhere throughout the OS- I can get control characters to show up in TextMate, but not in Terminal. parent htp 12 years ago
