Using firefox on a mac and character set suddenly switches to eastern language

I type really fast, and this seems to happen completely suddenly and I only notice after the fact. So for whatever reason, when i’m on a mac (i’m used to windows) and using firefox I get switched to an eastern character set. I’m not sure which language, but definitely japanese looking symbols. The only thing I can do is close the browser and reopen it, which sucks.

Any ideas what key combination I am pressing to make this happen?

When you say the character set switches, do you mean the webpage or the Firefox UI itself (i.e. menus, status bar, etc.)?

not the page itself, everything I type.

Possibly Command-space, which toggles between the last two international character entry languages you’ve chosen, or something like that.

awesome thanks. i will try this out.

That was it thanks!!!
