tell application "CharacterPalette" to activate
There is an issue though: the new character palette doesn’t get “bound” to any of the applications, therefore double-clicking a symbol doesn’t paste it automatically to the text field. You’d have to drag-and-drop.
I’m posting this because most results from Google were telling me to launch a “.component”, and that “.component” doesn’t exist on my Snow Leopard system.
