- teddyh 3y agoIt’s “18 Å”, not “18A” (which would be 18 Amperes). I would think that Intel would be keen to not be confused with either Ampere Computing or Nvidia’s Ampere GPU architecture.

- pineconewarrior 3y agoIt's dang easy on Mac. You just hit alt + the key it looks similar to. Å = opt (AKA alt) + shift + a
- tromp 3y agoDoing that for all of a..z and A..Z gives å∫ç∂´ƒ©˙ˆ∆˚¬µ˜øπœ®ß†¨√∑≈\Ω ÅıÇδϩӈÔ˚Ò˜Ø∏Œ®Í†¨√∑≈ÁΩ
- diffeomorphism 3y agoHow would I know in advance that this gives Å and not Æ or à or Ā or  or À or Á or Ä? And how would I type the other ones? Don't have a Mac, so I actually don't know how it is supposed to be done.
- GeekyBear 3y ago> How would I know in advance that this gives Å and not Æ or à or Ā or  or À or Á or Ä? The same way you know in advance that CTRL+SHIFT+@ gives you Å in Windows? Both Windows and Mac can display an on-screen keyboard that will display the character that will be output if you press a key along with modifier keys like CTRL or Option.
- Detrytus 3y agoThat's a very US-centric view of things. On my Mac pressing "opt (AKA alt) + shift + a" gives me: Ą - which I much prefer, since it comes from my native language :)
