Character map alternative

Hello I was working on a project in Adobe InDesign and noticed that Macos do not have a character map, so how do insert special characters?

How to type superscript numbers or letters on a Mac keyboard? Hi everyone, I often need to write numbers or letters in superscript (like ², ³, etc.) while using my Mac for assignments and creative notes. I know Pages and Numbers have some formatting options, but it feels a bit slow when I just need a quick text snippet. Does anyone know an easy way to create superscript text on a Mac keyboard, or any shortcut that can help? Any other tips or keyboard tricks would also be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

How to add a new character (q + tilde) to the character viewer mac OS: Ventura 13.6.1 (22G313) I am hoping someone can help me add a new accented letter to the Character Viewer. The letter in question is a q with a tilde (q̃ ), which is not among the options. I have also tried unsuccessfully to add a tilde to the q manually in Word for Mac. I ran up against this problem when transcribing some text in Old Castilian. A tilde was sometimes used to form abbreviations (e.g., grã for gran [great]; q̃ for que [that]). Am I missing something here? Is my only option to copy and paste q̃ from the scant examples found on the internet? My thanks in advance for your help. –M
