UnicodeChecker Services
UnicodeChecker provides several conversion services to any application supporting the “Services” menu of OS X that can be found in each application’s main menu.
The conversion services pop up a notification window after completion, for most services telling you how many characters have been replaced.
Enabling and Disabling Individual Services and Setting Keyboard Shortcuts
OS X does not show the services by default. You can enable and disable individual services from the “Shortcuts” tab of the “Keyboard” pane of System Preferences (open Keyboard Shortcuts). In the list on the left, select “Services”. You can also navigate here by choosing the “Services Preferences…” command from the “Services” menu in the Apple menu. Add a checkmark in front of the services that you want to use. Here, you can also set or change keyboard shortcuts for each service. See below for a list of all services that UnicodeChecker provides.
