ZAPF DINGBAT

[KayAnnGH]

Why is it so difficult to find a cheat sheet for this font? I tried every option on my mac keyboard and nothing has brought the symbol im looking for not to mention the few thigns i found online were useless as the commands wouldnt work while in in photoshop lol does anyone have a good sheet to follow for this?

What is the specific symbol?

Have you tried Window>Glyphs in photoshop?

How did you get either the Character Viewer or the Keyboard Viewer to show Zapf Dingbats?

Hi

It's probably easiest to use the Glyphs panel, but if you want a Cheat Sheet, you can make it yourself quickly. Type out the characters, copy and paste them, and format the copy to be Zapf Dingbats. Put it into a table first to separate it out better than I did.

A "3" formatted to Zapf Dingbats is a checkmark, for instance.

Here's a pdf cheat sheet of sorts which shows the actual keys that correspond to Zapf Dingbat font characters on a Mac.

I am in AI and I am trying to type the Heart symbol but the keystrokes are not responding.  The option key doesn't respond at all no matter what I am doing

Hi

There are multiple ways to insert a heart. If you want one of these, you can open the Character Viewer or use the shortcut of Cmd+Ctrl+Spacebar. 💙 If you want a different one, which one do you want?
