> Likewise, a Character Palette and Keyboard Viewer are available via the Input Menu pane of the International preference (System Prefs, Personal). The latter can be placed on the menu bar by selecting one or more languages from the same Input Menu list.

First, that pref moved to Language & Text > Input Sources in SL, and second, a Character Viewer/Keyboard Viewer icon is placed in your menu bar by checking the appropriate box, and that icon used to be the flag associated with your selected language, but beginning with Snow Leopard it is a generic one unless you check at least two languages, in which case you do get a flag.

Edit: Just updating you to SL there. (I have yet to run across anything that indicates that things have changed in Lion.)
