Can't find character in character palette or in Font Book

I have used the Om symbol (Sanskrit symbol used in lots of spiritual stuff - looks like "30") in a couple of documents in the past but when I open them now the Om symbol is missing and I can't find it in the Character Palette or anywhere in Font Book. The docs were created and used under previous OS. I don't actually remember if it was in Char Palette in earlier OS's but if anyone knows where I can find it for Leopard I'd really appreciate it. Many thanks.

Thanks! But, sorry, I don't how to get to that to use it. How do I navigate U+0950?
Here's one way. Copy/paste the OM from this webpage into TextEdit. Select the OM in TextEdit. In Character Palette go to the gear wheel at bottom left and click and select "Show Character Selected in Application."

Hi decemberrain,
Welcome to Nokia discussions board!
When entering the security code for a Wi-Fi connection, it should be the same as in messaging. When entering the Wi-Fi password, to key in dollar sign $, select "12#" key then the "1/2" key and you will find it.
If you don't have the same keyboard on the Wi-Fi password screen and in messaging, I advise you to check for updates and install them if available. If your device id up-to-date, reinstall the update via Nokia Suite.
Let us know how you get on and feel free to post any other questions you may have.

Can't find text in distilled file, using some fonts

The products I have are Mac OS 10.6.8, Acrobat X and 9, and Word 2011 and Apple Pages for Mac; Acrobat 9 and Word 2007 for Windows XP.
There are numerous ways to create PDFs on both platforms, whether through save as or creating a PostScript file and distilling it. The problem is that with docs I have using Calibri, Cambria, and Candara, if I distill a PostScript file made from Mac Word or Pages, neither Acrobat nor Apple Preview can find text in the resulting PDF, whether the file distilled with Mac or Windows Distiller. (Meaning a "find" for a string comes up as not found.) All other combinations are okay, even writing a PS file in Windows Word and distilling with Mac Distiller.
I mention the fonts specifically because most of the time I use OTF faces, which always work. I even tried using the Windows TTF versions in the Mac operating system -- same failure.
And even if I force these fonts to be embedded in the Distiller job options, still no joy. If I take so much as a comma and set it to an OTF, I can find the comma. Also, Acrobat *can* find Arial text in a Visio flowchart placed in the Word doc. I don't know how the author placed it there, but it's probably copy from Visio, paste into Word.
The reason why I care about this is because the distilled PFDs are just a tiny bit better looking on the screen than other options, such as "Save as PDF" from the Mac OS Print dialogue. The only other one that looks as good is the Create PDF button in Windows Word, but I would rather not have to use Windows just to get a better-looking PDF.
So to summarize:
Mac app > write PS file > Mac Distiller = fail
Mac app > write PS file > Win Distiller = fail
Win app > write PS file > Mac Distiller = okay
Win app > write PS file > Win Distiller = okay
Mac app > save as PDF directly > okay
This might not be a problem with Distiller per se; it could be the Mac OS engine that creates the PS files. You see, I had heard that Apple used their own internally developed engine for the options to save PDF files directly, but was using Adobe code when one used the option to write a PostScript file, so that's why I'm so surprised and disappointed it fails.

Hmmm. In what way are Distilled PDFs "a tiny bit better looking on screen" than those made by OS X?
You are viewing both in the same app and platform?
And you're referring to font display?
What settings are you using in Distiller which you think might have some bearing on this?

OS X's native graphics drawing environment, Quartz, is essentially a "Display PDF", so creating a PDF file is a very simple procedure.
Writing PostScript for printing uses Apple's own cgpdftops CUPS filter. I doubt there is any "Adobe code" as such, and I dispute the implication that "Apple code == bad; Adobe code == good", which you seem to suggest.
The specifications for PDF and PostScript are clearly documented, and it should be easy for anyone to follow them.
However, the fact remains that when Apple converts these MS fonts to PS, something goes wrong. It may be a bug in Apple's code; or it may be that Apple it strictly interpreting font data which MS is playing fast and loose with. Windows' own PS export would no doubt be designed to work with the looser implementation in MS's fonts. This is just hypothetical of course, though is in keeping with tradition.
What you could do is use a decent text editor like TextWrangler (free from BareBones software) to compare the PostScript code from Windows and OS X.
You could also look a the Properties tab in Acrobat of the PDFs, and compare the font encoding.
You could also test running out PostScript from any other app on OS X that you have using those fonts.
However, I think it is unlikely that you will see resolution unless MS releases a new version of their fonts, or some new version of OS X makes an amendment to fix the bug or cater for the MS issue. Perhaps Lion will do this; perhaps it won't.
Are you using the versions of these fonts that came with Office 2011 for Mac? What happens if you use the Windows versions of the fonts on OS X?

Can not find WMA files in iTunes, for borrowing library books with Overdrive Media Console

I have borrowed audiobooks from the library, using iTunes and Overdrive Media Console for years. some months ago, I was suddenly unable to. thought it was my old computer, so bought a new one. took weeks to be able to get an upgrade from Windows, and when I was finally able to thought my troubles were over.
but, no, now the Overdrive Media says it can not connect to iTunes. someone at Overdrive said iTunes had to be the default player for WMA files, but I can not figure out how to make that happen, since there is nothing that looks like 'WMA files' anywhere on my computer. any advice? I can't afford to purchase audiobooks, and I really miss being able to borrow from the library. this new computer has Windows 8 OS

There is a OneClickdigital ereader available in the App Store. Download that to your iPod to read pdfs and books from the library. And you might need to download the OneClickdigital eaudio player to listen to audiobooks from the library. Once both are downloaded sync you iPod again to transfer them.

How can I find out how to log into my Mac book pro if I dont remember my name and password

I Just open my Mac book pro and I can't seem to put my hand on what I placed as my password or name is there a way I can reset this abf start over?

It's not a screen saver, per se., it's the iTunes Visualizer.
iTunes -> View -> Show Visualizer
Pressing various keys while the visualizer is on changes some of the parameters.

What happened to my character palette?

My eMac needed a new logic board (thankfully covered by Apple!). Before I took in in for repairs, I had made a clone to an external drive. Today, two months later, I finally got it back from the shop. So I hooked up my external drive, erased my internal drive, and did a reverse clone.
Then I played around with everything for several hours to make sure all was well. Everything seemed to be in working order. However, when I opened a textedit document I had created in the past, I noticed something odd. The crown symbols I had inserted were gone! Wherever I had inserted a crown, there was now a square, with a sort of mis-shapen circle inside of it.
I immediately checked my character palette, and the crown, and many other symbols, were gone. Instead, there were blank boxes. A little yellow box would appear on the boxes with some unicode gibberish. Under the character info. drop down, it says "no glyph in this font."
I am a computer novice, and do not know much about the character palette, or unicode, or fonts (could this be font related?) It all worked fine before my repair, and my external clone was obviously not affected by the repair. How do I get my character palette back to the way it was? Is there a specific preference I need to trash?
Thank you in advance

(could
this be font related?)
Indeed, it has nothing to do with Character Palette. The font you used to create this character is apparently no longer on your OS, or the font which is set in your doc for that character does not contain it. If you could provide the Unicode number (top line of the yellow box) of the character you are talking about, I could probably tell you what font is needed.

Can't find preferences after migration

Just used Migration Assistant to move files from old Mini to MacBook. Appears to have transferred necessary apps, files, etc. But I can't find my preferences for key applications (firefox, address book, iphoto, email, etc.)
I was able to copy over my music from itunes. I had to select all of the files from the old hard drive folder, and then paste them into my iTunes window in order to get them to show up in the Library.
Now I really need to find my Address Book contacts, email folders, etc.
Any ideas?
thanks.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

connect up the old machine in Target Mode again, and from your users/Library, drag over the Mail folder, and AddressBook, and then, from the Preference folder, bring over the whole folder. Then restart.

How can I find Lion to download it to my Mac Boook/ It is the white plastic model and is now running Snow Leopard. It has 4 GB of Ram but this computer is not compatible with MOuntain Lion. I cannot find Lion anywhere.

How can I find Lion to download it to my Mac Book? It has Snow Leopard and 4GB RAM but it the white plastic model and is not compatible with Mountain Lion. I have been told by the Genius Bar that it will handle Lion.

That underpowered model is better left on 10.6.8 for performance reasons, also the fact that it's dated and 10.7 will likely require you to buy alll new software to replace the PPC based software your currently using.
If you insist, then call Apple via phone and they will sell you 10.7 Lion and provide a link to download it.
My 2¢ is to save up for a new machine, as that one is about to kick the bucket, they only last about 4.5 years or so depending upon use/enviroment.
If your having problems with 10.6.8, perhaps some of the links here can assist, 10.6 is faster than 10.7 in fresh install tests.

Can't find a "star" character

I've searched the forums and have not found an answer to a little problem I've encountered. Perhaps someone out there knows how to do this:
I need a classic 5-point "star" character that I can use in iWeb to indicated a rating, e.g. to indicate that so-and-so deserves a 5-star rating. Webdings does not have one that I can find and neither does Zapf Dingbats. Even if Zapf did, it's not a web font and would probably get substituted. Does anyone know of a web-compatible font family that has such a character?
I'd hate to have to imbed a graphic, but maybe I'll have to in which case, in what non-Web font family can I find a decent-looking 5-point star (I've got hundreds of fonts and am exhausted after checking just a couple of dozen) that I can then take a screen shot of to create a graphic?
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!

in what non-Web font family can I find a decent-looking 5-point star
Open Character Palette (Edit > Special Characters), View = Code Tables, Tab = Unicode, range = 00002600, and select 2605 or 2606. In the Font Variation panel below you will find all the fonts which have these.

How can I find out the files whose name has space character in a whole file system?
Thanks

I can use this command to find out like
