Inserting special characters?

Hi,

How do I insert special characters in a text morph in Squeak?  I guess
I'm after an equivalent to the Windows character picker, for
characters which cannot be typed on the keyboard.

It would be nice to see all the symbols available in a font, and pick
from that list.

cheers,
Simon

Hi Simon,

in Squeak (Smalltalk) everything is always available, especially to  
developers :)

You may want to print this expression (with printIt)

  Character characterTable

Enjoy.

OK thanks Klaus, that basically does part of what I want.  By doing
this:

text3031 contents: (Character characterTable inject: '' into:
[:x :y | x, y asString])

I can set the contents of a text morph (text3031) as I desired.

Now I'm thinking of writing the other bits I need to give me a
character picker ...

cheers,
Simon
