So to type mathematical symbols, you select the Symbol layout, and then type as though you had selected the Symbol font and US keyboard layout selected in a previous version of Mac!OS. The same concept applies with the Dingbats layout, for the Zapf Dingbats font.I continue to be amazed at the number of things in OSX of which I have zero.

the only problem with this is that when i do it, i have to have a US flag on my menubar all the time. not a bad thing in and of itself, but i was thinking a canadian flag (or batz maru!) might be a bit more appropriate given my circumstances (and the canadian-csa layout is definitely not an option). anyway, is there a way to edit those li'l layout pix? (looked through the prefpane package contents but no image files for those flags found; the keymapping files aren't transparent re: images, either...)

The images are stored as kcs#, kcs4 and kcs8 resources in a .rsrc file somewhere in the HIToolbox framework, I think. Happy Hacking!
A useful ResExcellence page on keyboard icons:
http://www.resexcellence.com//11-16-99.shtml
Some notes from a friend on how the icons are coded (and how to
change them in ASCII rather than using a graphic editor):
Here is the list of flag icon colour codes for the 'kcs4' resource:
0 White
1 Yellow
2 Orange
3 Red
4 Magenta
5 Purple
6 Blue
7 Cyan
8 Green
9 Dark Green
A Dark Brown
B Brown
C Light Grey
D Mid Grey
E Dark Grey
F Black
When you open the resource, you'll see something like:

This is for the US flag. Ignore the first five lines of 0s, the rest is the
flag. You can replace any pair of hexadecimal numbers (= one ASCII character)
with any other pair, e.g. replacing 33 with 31 changes 2 red pixels to a red
and a yellow. For example, for my 'US - No CapsLock' keyboard, I added a green
block in the lower left corner:
