Comment: added macOS method to determine Unicode code point of a character

...

Because of the subtlety of differences in appearance of these characters it is important to check (or spot-check) these characters by code point. The easiest way to do this in MS Office (Windows) is to copy the character whose Unicode value you wish to know from its source and paste it into a Word document. Once pasted, with the insertion point positioned just after the character in question, type Alt X, which converts the character to its Unicode hexadecimal value (typing Alt X again will toggle this back to the character). On macOS, you can use Character Viewer (sometimes referred to as ‘Emoji & Symbols’): in its Search field, paste the character whose value you wish to determine and it will show the required information instantly next to ‘Unicode’, as a hexadecimal value prefixed with ‘U+’.
