Apple Computer‘s OS X is a radical departure from earlier versions of the Macintosh operating system. Consequently, the functionality of the older programs is also different. Please read this document for the release of official OS X support for Hawaiian language, or continue reading this document to learn how to use Hale Kuamo‘o's HI fonts under OS X.

Unicode fonts and keyboard are supported in Macintosh OS X, and with the release of OS X 10.2, the system includes a Unicode Hawaiian keyboard, and some fonts contain both the ‘okina and kahakō.. This is a significant development for speakers of Hawaiian language, as this now allows users to type the ‘okina and kahakō without the installation of specialized fonts.
