When you connect an additional monitor to your Mac, and then drag the Character Palette (opened via the Input Menu icon in the menu bar) to that screen, you may end up in a situation where the Character Palette's top bar is off the top of your Mac's main display after you disconnect the external monitor -- making it impossible to move.

To reset the position of the Character Palette, type killall CharPaletteServer in Terminal, then press Return. The next time you bring up the Character Palette, its position will be reset.
