How do you type modifier key symbols in Photoshop?

[way_phat]

I'm interested in being able to type the modifier key symbols in Photoshop, such as: ⌘ ⇧ ⌥ ⌃

How to do?

Thanks

Windows or Mac?

Windows Alt codes.  That is you hold down the Alt key and type 0151 which gives you the em dash —

0176 degrees symbol °

etc

You could use the Glyphs panel in photoshop.

Window>Glyphs

Then try a font like Lucida Grande.

Click on your document to create a type layer, then double click on the symbols in the Glyphs panel to insert the characters in your type.

That'll work, thank you!

I'm curious though, I had actually looked in the glyphs panel, but didn't see those symbols in the 3 or so fonts I tried. How did you know which font -- did you just get lucky, or is there a rhyme or reason as to what symbols one will find under a given font?

Most fonts won’t have these symbols. You just need to know.

I'm pretty sure i read that somewhere when researching how to use the Mac Character Viewer with photoshop and it was suggested that the Lucida Grande font was a good one to use. That was before photoshop had a Glyphs panel.

One thing about using the Character Viewer with photoshop is one has to match the font and symbol like explained here:

While interesting, I could not find those particular symbols on that page or it's associated links. Could you point me to them?

Thanks
