Cmd-z. Opt-z types ohm: Ω.
I wonder why they did that.
- MaysonL 15y agoThat's omega, which is used as a symbol for ohms. It's also [and originally] the last letter in the Greek alphabet.
- nspragmatic 15y agoI see, thanks. I originally wrote omega (I knew it was the last letter, alpha/omega and such), but changed it after checking the character viewer in OS X, which called it an ohm.
- duskwuff 15y agoCapital letter omega is U+3A9: Ω Ohm sign is U+2126: Ω They probably look identical in most (if not all) fonts, but they're treated as two separate characters in Unicode.
- lloeki 15y agoAlso, Ohms measure impedance, and an impedance value is noted Z. Most of the alt/alt+shift combinations on the Mac keyboard layout make sense.
