Mac OS X: Some Keys Don‘t Work as Expected After Switching Input Methods

Some keys may not work as expected when you switch between input methods.

Symptom

Some keys do not work as expected after switching input methods

For example, if you switch to Kotoeri by selecting the Canadian - CSA input method, you aren't able to form some double-byte Koteri characters:

／ (unicode: FF0F)
？ (FF1F)
" (201D)
' (2019)
＜ (FF1C)
＞ (FF1E)

Solution

Choose U.S. from the input menu (looks like a flag) before choosing a different input method.

For example, to change from Canadian - CSA to Kotoeri, choose U.S. from the input menu first, then choose Kotoeri.

This document will be updated as more information becomes available.
