Option Key Shortcuts
You probably know that holding Option will allow you to type special characters not normally accessible. Knowing what secondary character each key corresponds to is a higher accomplishment. Here are several of the more useful alt-keys, available on a US English keyboard:
Alt-1 -> ¡ (upside-down !, used in certain languages)
Alt-2 -> ™ (trademark symbol)
Alt-3 -> £ (pounds)
Alt-4 -> ¢ (cents)
Alt-5 -> ∞ (infinity)
Alt-6 -> § (section symbol; used in MCBE formatting codes)
Alt-8 -> • (dot)
Alt-0 -> º (degrees, temperature or geometrical)
Alt-T -> † (used as a secondary footnote marker)
Alt-Y -> ¥ (yen)
Alt-P -> π (pi)
Alt-G -> © (copyright)
Alt-X -> ≈ (approximate equals sign)
Alt-<> -> ≤≥ (equal or lesser/greater)
Alt-? -> ÷ (division sign)
Shift-Alt-2 -> € (euros)
Shift-Alt-34 -> ‹› (arrow brackets)
Shift-Alt-K -> (private use Apple logo)
Shift-Alt-N -> ˜ (combining character; joins with previous letter)
Shift-Alt-? -> ¿ (upside-down ?)
Alt-\ -> « (double arrow)
Shift-Alt-\ -> » (other double arrow)
(Characters were tested on an Apple device with an external US English keyboard; not guaranteed to work on other operating systems)
