I believe the character for the shift key modifier might be ascii code 5...
(works in REALbasic chr(5))

is there a way to display this in a cocoa application since cocoa uses unicode?
i have tried to create a string with ascii encoding but still cannot get the special
characters to display.

any ideas?

Is it only possible by using images of the special characters?

No, there should be Unicode chars for it, or else you can use control
chars in the system font (at least, that worked in classic Mac OS).
