If you’re a regular user of the Mac OS’s built-in character palette, you mind find this little Dashboard widget useful: CharacterPal copies the HTML code for symbols, keyboard codes, greek letters and more to the clipboard at the click of the mouse. This is great for quickly entering characters like ⌘, or ☯ without having to first find those symbols in the character palette.
CharacterPal organizes the characters into categories, such as Symbols, Greek, Keyboard or Math and Science. If you don’t want to bring up Dashboard every time you need CharacterPal, you can configure it to display as a translucent HUD on the Desktop, similar to tool windows in regular applications.
CharacterPal is “karmaware”, which means you are not required to donate, but will receive some good karma if you do. CharacterPal is available at taco widgets.
