Agree with this summary. I think the current behaviour of the dropdown is the
correct one: font is remembered in the recent/favourite lists. (And this should
be the default if the extra checkbox is added, but this can be discussed in bug
155274.)

(Once this is fixed, a follow-up ticket can be opened about what needs to
happen to characters written after the inserted character. Currently, if
inserted from the dropdown, the following characters will use the inserted
character's font but I think the paragraph's font (or whatever was used as
direct formatting before inserting the special character) should be kept. I.e.
same behaviour as e.g. when a footnote anchor is inserted.)
