On MacOS, the option key functions as a modifier key like the shift key. Hold it down and press another key simultaneously. For option - shift, hold down both the option and shift keys and press another key simultaneously.
On Windows, the Alt key functions as a modifier like the shift key. To make special characters, hold down the Alt key and type in the numbers from the numeric keypad.

PopChar is available for Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, and Windows.)
For posters at the Straight Dope Message Board: You can type in the HTML number code in your post, and after you submit your post the corresponding special character will appear.
