Is there any way to emulate a typewriter characterset on the macbook pro? I want to be able to type a floating c with an underscore like the 2nd character in the image below.

How to type a semicolon on the Hungarian 101 keyboard? I find this baffling, but I simply cannot type the semicolon (the symbol ; ) on a MacBook Pro 2021 with the Hungarian - 101 key keyboard. I have checked the settings that show what keys are used for which character (under Keyboard -> Input Sources), but the semicolon is simply non-existent. So yeah, the question is in the title. How can I write a semicolon on this keyboard setup?

accessing unicode pi via "Unicode Hex Input" keyboard is not working I am trying to set up keyboard macros for various unicode symbols. In order to do this systematically, I have switched from "U.S." keyboard to the "Unicode Hex Input" keyboard (this was achieved by accessing [System Preferences] -> [keyboard] -> + and then adding the "Unicode Hex Input" keyboard). This works quite well to input many unicode symbols like lower case Greek letters, however it does not seem to work for the symbol π. That is, I enter the unicode macro ([option]-03c0) but no character appears. I can only create the symbol by switching back to the "U.S." keyboard, typing [option]-p, and then switching back to the "Unicode Hex Input" keyboard. I would like to be able to access that symbol with the "Unicode Hex Input" keyboard though. Is this possible? My system information: MacOS Monterey Version 12.1 MacBook Pro (16 inch, 2019)

Cannot type a backtick. I have a macbook pro 13-inch from 2014 that is currently running macOS Big Sur and I tried to look up how to type a backtick as I need it for programming, but I cannot find it anywhere. Does someone know how to get one?

In a word processor like Pages you can do this via menu item Format > Font > Baseline (after underlining the c)
