--- Comment #15 from jan d <d_jan at ymail.com> ---
The question of what other software is doing makes sense in case we know that
there is a problem and a change is needed. People come to new software with
existing experiences and it makes sense to see what they might be familiar with
and thus what is intuitive to them
(https://www.asktog.com/papers/raskinintuit.html).

I agree that the current lables might not be ideal. Aside of the suggested
design tools, MS Word, in recent versions, actually does something similar to
what jsv proposes: Insert-Ribbon → Symbols → [Window with two tabs:]"Symbols"
(big table of characters), "Special Characters" (typographical and control
characters like non-breaking space, en-dash, em-dash, ellipsis and
writing-direction overwrite)

However, it still is something that I would not change without some test or
other data, and if we can’t research is further, leave as it it.
