Character viewer & Currency Symbols

Yosemite 10.10.3
I have been trying to access the shortcuts or whatever for various currencies other than $. I found this on the internet (I know it is not Apple but it is easier to read than anything I have found in these support circles) http://www.maketecheasier.com/type-euro-sign-mac/. I was able to navigate to enter a € symbol but am using many different currencies and need to have access to all.
I have gone to System Preferences > Keyboard and have checked the box for 'Show Keyboard & Characters in Menu Bar'. I navigated to 'Input Sources' but do not see the option to include the Keyboard & Character Viewer in the list area as it shows on this link. I do not see mention of it in any other of the support posts so perhaps this is an old feature.
The following Apple support post How to type accents, emoji, and symbols on your Mac - Apple Support indicates that I should be able to find currencies as a special character. But when I follow those instructions I don't see that I have options for currencies:
Can someone point me in the right direction?

I meant to add a screen shot of the 'missing' character viewer on the input sources tab.

I see the character viewer now on the menu bar with the flag. From here it appears that I can view the currencies too.

Character viewer - phonetic symbols

Hi,
My character palette/viewer has changed after upgrading to ML.
Whilst still on Snow Leopard, the palette showed an extensive list including the phonetic symbols I use for teaching English. I was able to add those I needed to my 'Favourites' list for easy access.
Now, that favourites list has gone, I cannot find a reference to phonetic symbols at all, and only a much smaller list is available. All I have access to are: Arrows, parentheses, punctuation, currency symbols, pictographs, bullets/stars, math symbols, letterlike symbols, emoji and Latin.
Anyone know what I have to do to find these symbols, please? Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Graham

Go the the gear wheel at the top left and select customize, then check the boxes for the categories you want, including Unicode.

Problem with Currency Symbol in IR export to CVS

I have a number of queries that have been successfully generating csv files for years and have been adapted to provide the basis for the same information to be available as an interactive report with the option to download as csv. The old scripts set the NLS settings at the outset. The Apex app sets the NLS environment in the vpd function. The apex report query is a "select * from some_view" style one that ultimately queries a remote view with several columns like this:
select TRIM (LEADING ' ' FROM TO_CHAR(ROUND(100,2),'L9999G999G990D00')) x from dual;
just as the were in the prior manual SQL.
The "new" apex export to csv files contain an extra character preceding the currency symbol that is upsetting Excel on import.
old-style hexdumps look like this:
2c 22 a3 31 30 30 2e 30 30 22 2c
,"£100.00",
new ones like this:
2c 22 c2 a3 31 30 30 2e 30 30 22 2c
,"Â£100.00",
Where on earth is Apex getting it into its head to add this (the on-screen report is fine!) and how can I stop it?
Thanks in anticipation.

Having trouble finding Character viewer

I am having trouble finding the Character Viewer. I've looked in the Launchpad and also in Finder under Applications. If I accidentally sent it to the Trash and emptied it can I reinstall?
OS X 10.8.5

Actually I'm not looking for the Font Book , I'm looking for the Character Viewer. FontBook I can find and it does not appear to give me what I want. I was already using the Character Viewer quite a bit for a while, using it to find the pi sign, upside down exclamation points, fractions, foreign currency symbols and stuff like that.
I suspect I turfed the app without realizing what I was doing at the time. This is my first Mac and I am still acclimatizing to it. Like I said, it can't be found in Finder under Applications so I'm thinking it must be missing.

Where is character view in 10.9.4?

How do you add a dingbat to character viewer in order to select it?

I understand that being unicode pages cannot use ITC Zaph dingbats from the keyboard that i need to use the special characters. very awkward! but how do i insert a character from zaph dignbat into special characters?
thank you

If I open Font Book, and choose named font, I can see a list of symbols, e.g.
If I open Character Viewer, and switch to Pictographs, I can see something like this
so I assume that named font includes chars in the category Pictographs, which you can use at ease, I hope.
If you need them frequently, you may create your custom keyboard layout, if you wish this, come back with what you wish.
Screenshots are in Lion, but the procedure is the same, I hope.

Glyph View in Character Viewer?

Back in Snow Leopard, we had the possibility to view all characters of a certain font if we selected "View>Glyph" in the character viewer. In Lion, this option seems to be missing. Is there any way to browse all characters of a specific font?
The reason I need this: I have several special fonts with symbols for scientific work (really specialized fonts, with characters you won't find in the symbols Apple provides). In SnowLeopard, they didn't show up in the character viewer as normal symbols, but in Glyph View one could select the font and then all characters were displayed, so one could easily select the right symbol (my friends using Windows could even assign a keyboard shortcut for each character in their character viewer).

No, thanks. That still doesn't let you show the characters that are availalble for a particular font. That big assortment of arrows it's showing? Essentially useless, because they're not available in any font I can find.
I did discover a cumbersome workaround by using both Font Book and Character Viewer.
1. Go into Font Book and select the "custom" preview. Put the cursor in that editable preview area.
2. Now go over to Character Viewer and double-click the character or symbol you're interested in. It will be pasted into the "custom" preview of Font Book. However, there's a bug; for some reason after the special character is pasted in, the glyphs that were showing for the font will return to being boxes. You have to select a different font and come back, in order to display the glyphs again.
You can now use the up/down arrow keys to step through all the fonts in Font Book and at least see which fonts have the character(s) you're looking for.

Currency Symbol displays correctly locally, but not when I deploy to server

Hi have some number fields, where I set the control hint on the view to Currency format. When I run locally, everything displays properly: $1,234.56
But when I deploy my application to our development server, the $ is coming up as a ¤1,234.56. This happens to all my currency fields, not matter what object is displaying it.
I've seen one other post that talks about using a numberConverter tag everytime I display the values, but I'd prefer to stick with "best practice" of using the control hints. Especially since it works fine locally, I have to think this is some sort of server side setting that I am missing. Does anyone have any idea what might be happening here?

The ¤ symbol is a "neutral" currency symbol, it is used if no locale can be determined (no matter if you are using control hints or converters). Try setting a default local to your application on the faces-config.xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<faces-config version="1.2" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee">
<application>
    <default-render-kit-id>oracle.adf.rich</default-render-kit-id>
    <locale-config>
      <default-locale>en</default-locale>
      <supported-locale>en</supported-locale>
    </locale-config>
</application>
</faces-config>Hope this helps.

A lot of characters missing from "Character Viewer" .. can I get them?

Most musical symbols show an empty box.
Other categories too...
Could I've erased them? With CleanMyMac maybe?

Character Viewer isn't doing what I want it to do, can somebody help me?
Here's the issue: I have a font installed called Anastasia, which contains musical symbols. I would like to be able to bring up its whole character set on the screen so I can pick which character to insert in my document. It seems to me that this is what Character Viewer is intended to do; however, I can find no way to view the character set for this particular font, Anastasia. The "Muscial Symbols" collection brings up a limited set of symbols, such as notes, but it's an incomplete set and it does not show Anastasia as one of the available font variations. This font is definitely installed and at least one of my installed apps uses it routinely. But it doesn't seem to be accessible through Character Viewer. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Any SAP standard approach to display the currency symbols without hard code?

Hi,
I want to display $ symbol on the report ouput, for the how can we display currency symbols without hard code?
Thanks,
Aarti

Not much chance... If such a standard table exists, then during Euro creation, an OSS note would have been released to add the € character, and I found none, fell free to perform some search on OSS with keywords I didn't try.
So better build your own customer table with foreign relaction to TCURC.
NB: Look for symbol list ($, £, €, ¥, etc.) in sites like Currency symbol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. I hope your system is Unicode.

Raymond

The character viewer no longer shows the complete unicode map, as it had in SnowLeopard. How do I get it back?

Just upgraded to Lion. The character viewer, which previously allowed one to see the entire unicode map for each font, no longer does this. It shows only certain kinds of symbols, not all of them. I am unhappy: I need to be able to access alternative letters and symbols, not just European vowels. Can someone help me?

Hi Sally,
I is still there, but a bit hidden.
1. Open the character viewer
2. Open the gear menu in the top left corner and select 'customize list...'
3. Go down to the bottom of the list 'Select categories...' and open 'Code Tables'.
4. Mark 'Unicode' for inclusion and click 'Done'.
Now open in the character viewer window the freshly added 'Unicode' category.
It is a bit cramped, but there it is: the old and trusted character viewer with all unicode categories and associated font variations.
good luck!
regards,
Twan

€ Euro Currency symbol in ActiveSync password not working.

Are there any known issues when using the € Euro Currency symbol as a password for ActiveSync on an iOS device? It appears ActiveSync does not accept the € Euro Currency symbol when used in a password sent from an iPad/iPhone.
Are there any known issues with special characters and ActiveSync?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Dennis

ActiveSync was developed for Windows. You'd have to know what code page the Windows device was using to make sure you understood how the character should be coded.
Generally speaking, I wouldn't use any character in a password that didn't have an ASCII code. We've even had trouble with accented characters.
