<pre>Description:
There is no apparent logic to which characters appear. For example, choose
Liberation Serif or OpenSymbol and navigate to General Punctuation. U+2022
BULLET is available, but the very next character, U+2023 TRIANGULAR BULLET, is
not.
Which characters appear also seems to depend on the font selected. For example,
U+25B3 WHITE UP-POINTING TRIANGLE appears for OpenSymbol but not for Liberation
Serif.
I confirmed that the above mentioned characters exist in both fonts using a
separate program, KCharSelect.
I believe there are some other aspects of the Special Character dialog under
discussion at the time of writing. Now would be a good time to fix this as
well, since it seriously cripples the usefulness of the dialog.
Steps to Reproduce:
Search for an arbitrary character in an arbitrary font.
Actual Results:
All characters that exist in the font should be available.
Expected Results:
Some characters are missing, with no placeholder in the interface.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
