Keyboard Shortcuts for Special Characters

On Windows, to make special characters, hold down the Alt key and type in the numbers from the numeric keypad.

On MacOS, the option key functions as a modifier key like the shift key. Hold it down and press another key simultaneously. For option - shift, hold down both the option and shift keys and press another key simultaneously.
