Hi Andrew,
I'm aware of both of those and they are both singularly unhelpful.
They OS X keyboard viewer does not display all fonts in the pull-down
menu — only a tiny subset of those installed on my system.
The Character Palette lists all kinds of variations on the "LOGICAL
AND" character (which happens to be an inverted "V")-- but the vast
majority of the results are Unicode characters that can't be used in
Finale. But even if there are non-Unicode characters include there --
and there might be -- there is no way to tell, because the Character
Palette does not show that info. Finally, the Character Palette
doesn't tell you what key combination is mapped to the selected glyph.
Cheers,
- Darcy

Also: is there some kind of freeware font explorer utility for Mac
that shows all of the glyphs included in a font and which
keystrokes are required to generate them?
Find the flag icon in the menu bar, and from its pulldown menu
select "Show Keyboard Viewer."
Note, however, that some (many?) fonts contain characters *that
cannot be accessed from the keyboard.* To see these, go to that same
menu and select "Show Character Palette."
