Typing Unicode characters that end with a zero

This thread was posted on February 4, 2022: Can't type unicode character codes ending… - Apple Community

Has anyone found a solution to the problem typing Unicode characters that end in zero? I just updated to Monterrey 12.6.4, and the problem remains.

One user in an affiliated thread suggest using old Mac keyboard shortcuts like `+a to get à. That's fine as far as it goes, but I need characters that are not covered under the old shortcuts, e.g. "Š" [unicode 0160]. It's a major pain to have to go into the Emojis & Symbols palette whenever I have to type the name "Šipka."

Thanks.

The accented character menu seems to work. Šipka.

Thanks. I'd still like for Apple to fix what's obviously a bug that's been around for more than a year, but your solution helps. The accented character menu is new to me. I'm used to getting "ssssssssssss" when I hold down the "s" key. With your suggestion, I can at least keep my hands on the keyboard.

All the best.

12.6.4 is certainly not most current. You need 13.3 for the bug to be fixed.

If they did, it's back. As I note above, I just updated to the most current OS last night, and I can't type "0160" to get the caron-S. Other unicode keying works fine.

My apologies. 12.6.4 is the most recent voice that I can Install on my Mac. I guess I’m SOL.
