I have seen a few OSX apps that have a Special Characters menu item in their Edit menu. For example Safari.

Clicking it brings up the so-called Character Viewer.

How can this be achieved by a Java Swing app?

    On Mac OS X 10.8 you’ll find the Character Viewer app here:

    /System/Library/Input Methods/CharacterPalette.app
    

    I think the easiest way to run this from a Java app is by using executing the process:

    new ProcessBuilder("/System/Library/Input Methods/CharacterPalette.app/Contents/MacOS/CharacterPalette").start();
