--- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
With its current collapsed Unicode chart state, the Character map of the
Special character dialog is not overly useful as a modeless picker.

And the Toolbar split button serving the Special Character dialog provides a
slots for 32 glyphs on the Favorites list and Recents stack makes this a
non-issue.

In current state, no compelling reason to make dialog modeless (remain open
between picks). IMHO => WF

While the see also bug 120753 is open to give user ability to expand both,
really ideal for in-line input. While, bug 115477 would restore the input
buffer to allow assemble multi-glyph runs before the insert to canvas. 

Discussion for redesign of the Special character dialog are here
