<pre><span class="quote">> You say people remember the unicode id</span >
For the record, I do remember Unicode code point numbers, because I’m a
typesetter and frequently need to insert special characters, which is very easy
to do with your keyboard in Linux: Ctrl+Shift+U plus the Unicode number (e.g.,
2026 for …). It shows on my LibreOffice UI translations, which at the
microtypography level are very polished. I realize I’m a “power user”, but we
shouldn’t just design for the lowest-common-denominator use case. To me, it’s
sensible that if the Special Characters dialog has a search field, it should
allow me to enter a Unicode number and be capable to find the character.</pre>
