[XeTeX] input from character viewer?

[McCollum, Adam]

Dear list members,

I hope this question isn't too far afield for the list.

I use TeXworks with Mac OS 10.6. When I try to enter something from the Character Viewer in TeXworks, nothing happens, but if I enter something from the Character Viewer in another application, such as TextEdit, I can copy from there and paste it into TeXworks and whatever I have copied shows up properly. Is there a reason that Character Viewer is not inputting directly into TeXworks?

Thanks!
