I know of two ways to do this....

The easiest is

1) Go to System Preferences

2) Click on International

3) Find the Input Menu button

4) Choose Keyboard Viewer

5) A little flag will appear on the toolbar, in the upper-right corner (varying depending on where you live)

6) Click on the flag, and a drop-down list appears. Click on Show Keyboard Viewer.

7) A miniature keyboard will appear on your screen. It works just like a normal one, though if you press Option, a bunch of symbols will come up.

The other way is (probably simpler, but requires a very good memory)

1) Click Option

2) Choose any number or letter key.

3) A symbol will come up.

4) There are more symbols if you press the Shift key as well (my personal favourite being Option + Shift + K )

5) You must remember what each combination does... that's why I find the Keyboard Viewer easiest.

Here are all the different symbols:

  • Option and ` =`
  • Option and 1 = ¡
  • Option and 2 = ™
  • Option and 3 = £
  • Option and 4 = ¢
  • Option and 5 = ∞
  • Option and 6 = §
  • Option and 7 = ¶
  • Option and 8 = •
  • Option and 9 = ª
  • Option and 0 = º
  • Option and - = -
  • Option and = = ≠
  • Option and q = œ
  • Option and w = ∑
  • Option and e = ´
  • Option and r = ®
  • Option and t = †
  • Option and y = ¥
  • Option and u = ¨
  • Option and i = ˆ
  • Option and o = ø
  • Option and p = π
  • Option and [ = "
  • Option and ] = '
  • Option and \ = «
  • Option and a = å
  • Option and s = ß
  • Option and d = ∂
  • Option and f = ƒ
  • Option and g = ©
  • Option and h = ˙
  • Option and j = ∆
  • Option and k = ˚
  • Option and l = ¬
  • Option and ; = …
  • Option and ' = æ
  • Option and z = Ω
  • Option and x = ≈
  • Option and c = ç
  • Option and v = √
  • Option and b = ∫
  • Option and n = ˜
  • Option and m = µ
  • Option and , = ≤
  • Option and . = ≥
  • Option and / = ÷
  • Option, Shift, and ` = `
  • Option, Shift, and 1 = ⁄
  • Option, Shift, and 2 = €
  • Option, Shift, and 3 = ‹
  • Option, Shift, and 4 = ›
  • Option, Shift, and 5 = fi
  • Option, Shift, and 6 = fl
  • Option, Shift, and 7 = ‡
  • Option, Shift, and 8 = °
  • Option, Shift, and 9 = ·
  • Option, Shift, and 0 = '
  • Option, Shift, and - = -
  • Option, Shift, and = = ±
  • Option, Shift, and q = Œ
  • Option, Shift, and w = "
  • Option, Shift, and e = ´
  • Option, Shift, and r = ‰
  • Option, Shift, and t = ˇ
  • Option, Shift, and y = Á
  • Option, Shift, and u = ¨
  • Option, Shift, and i = ˆ
  • Option, Shift, and o = Ø
  • Option, Shift, and p = ∏
  • Option, Shift, and [ = "
  • Option, Shift, and ] = '
  • Option, Shift, and \ = »
  • Option, Shift, and a = Å
  • Option, Shift, and s = Í
  • Option, Shift, and d = Î
  • Option, Shift, and f = Ï
  • Option, Shift, and g = ˝
  • Option, Shift, and h = Ó
  • Option, Shift, and j = Ô
  • Option, Shift, and k = 
  • Option, Shift, and l = Ò
  • Option, Shift, and ; = Ú
  • Option, Shift, and ' = Æ
  • Option, Shift, and z = ¸
  • Option, Shift, and x = ˛
  • Option, Shift, and c = Ç
  • Option, Shift, and v = ◊
  • Option, Shift, and b = ı
  • Option, Shift, and n = ˜
  • Option, Shift, and m = Â
  • Option, Shift, and , = ¯
  • Option, Shift, and . = ˘
