The Glyph Browser panel lets you insert glyphs, Unicode characters or Unicode characters with alternates. Instead, if you're familiar with, or have reference to, Glyph/Unicode character codes you can insert these characters directly into your text by toggling the entered Hex code into its displayed character.

To add special characters:

Click for an insertion point in your text.
Do one of the following:
- From the Text menu, select Insert Character, then a special character entry from a chosen category.
- From the Edit menu, select Emoji & Symbols, select a category by clicking the icons at the left of the pop-up dialog, then double-click a displayed symbol.

To insert glyphs/Unicode characters from browser:

Click for an insertion point in your text.
From the View menu, select Studio>Glyph Browser.
Select a Font, Font style and Subset from the pop-up menu options.
Double-click a glyph to add it to the text at the insertion point.

To insert glyphs/Unicode characters directly using Hex code:

Click for an insertion point in the text.
Do one of the following:
- For a glyph: Type 'G+' then enter the Hex code, e.g. '02F5' or '2F5'.
- For a Unicode character: Type 'U+' then the Hex code, e.g. '0040', '040' or '40'.
Toggle from code to displayed character by using Text>Toggle Unicode. Toggle back to Hex code using the same command; keep insertion point at end of character.
