Here's how I did it on my Mac.įirst, enable the Input menu to gain access to the Character Viewer utility application. On Mac OS X, the process is slightly more involved. On Windows, it is fairly simple you just hold down the Alt key and type F, D, F and A (or B) to get the desired glyph.

These two glyphs correspond to Unicode characters U+FDFA and U+FDFB respectively. Inspired by that, I investigated how to do the same on a Windows or Mac OS X machine in general. A friend of mine posted a method to write glyphs for ﷺ and ﷻ in Microsoft Word, on Facebook recently.
