Typing special characters

December 2, 2007 5:09 PM

I've installed Mac OS Leopard. I want to write some characters from symbolic logic. Where is character palette in word? Alternately, where online can I find the symbolic characters.

So, I want to write an "upside-down A" and a "backwards E" for a philosophy paper that uses some logical symbols. I installed Leopard and now the Character palette does not show up in the "edit" or "input" menus. Where can I find said palette. Failing that, are there any websites with these symbols?

—Thanks!

Here.
The quantifiers you want are under symbols/mathematical symbols.

I don't know how I would survive without metafilter. Thank you so much!

open the finder
under the 'edit' menu, select 'special characters'

here they are in case you just want to copy & paste: ∀ ∃

For a once-off, it's often easy to just google the name of the symbol and copy and paste.
