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

Factual Questions
1

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?

2

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

3

not the page itself, everything I type.

4

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