I do not like cluttering the menu items in the upper right hand corner of my screen. You can add a character view in this way through >System Preferences>Keyboard>Keyboard>

My user tip is a simple shortcut—an under utilized and often overlooked keyboard shortcut.


Control command spacebar will open this character viewer to insert Emojis ⚠️ , math¹⁵ symbols, etc.

By double clicking your selection, it is easy enough to insert your emoji of choice.
