To enable Dingbats and Symbol fonts in Cocoa apps, open your System Preferences panel and click the International icon. On the International preference pane, click on Keyboard Menu. Look for Symbol. Buy and download ITC Zapf Dingbats Regular, and other high-quality fonts for Mac and Windows Publishing. Fonts are available in TrueType, OpenType and web type formats From all the major foundries at discount prices. We're Your type! ITC Zapf Dingbats Font is the common dingbat font typeface and Hermann Zapf was designed this in 1978. Zapf Essentials is the advance version to this font which includes 6 symbol font. Each fashion designer knows that a high-quality typeset can take any assignment from good to pleasant. Mac OS X uses something called Unicode, which allows over 65,000 characters, which means the Mac can now set type in alphabets such as Japanese, Arabic, or Chinese. But in Mac OS X applications that use Unicode, such as TextEdit, fonts like Zapf Dingbats and Webdings do not appear correctly.

the only problem with this is that when i do it, i have to have a US flag on my menubar all the time. not a bad thing in and of itself, but i was thinking a canadian flag (or batz maru!) might be a bit more appropriate given my circumstances (and the canadian-csa layout is definitely not an option). anyway, is there a way to edit those li'l layout pix? (looked through the prefpane package contents but no image files for those flags found; the keymapping files aren't transparent re: images, either...)

The images are stored as kcs#, kcs4 and kcs8 resources in a .rsrc file somewhere in the HIToolbox framework, I think. Happy Hacking!

A useful ResExcellence page on keyboard icons:
http://www.resexcellence.com//11-16-99.shtml
Some notes from a friend on how the icons are coded (and how to
change them in ASCII rather than using a graphic editor):
Here is the list of flag icon colour codes for the 'kcs4' resource:
0 White
1 Yellow
2 Orange
3 Red
4 Magenta
5 Purple
6 Blue
7 Cyan
8 Green
9 Dark Green
A Dark Brown
B Brown
C Light Grey
D Mid Grey
E Dark Grey
F Black
When you open the resource, you'll see something like:

This is for the US flag. Ignore the first five lines of 0s, the rest is the
flag. You can replace any pair of hexadecimal numbers (= one ASCII character)
with any other pair, e.g. replacing 33 with 31 changes 2 red pixels to a red
and a yellow. For example, for my 'US - No CapsLock' keyboard, I added a green
block in the lower left corner:
