Special (Unicode) character entry popup?

[dsewell]

Hi, all. I can't believe this hasn't been requested or asked about: has there been any discussion of adding a menu item to oXygen to call up a list of available special characters so that they can be selected and entered directly into the file? For example, a list based on Unicode code blocks.

I use the Mac OS X version of oXygen, so entering special characters is no problem using the system keyboard shortcuts or the character palette, but I'm trying to teach some Windows users to use oXygen and things are more complicated for them.

Why wouldn't the Windows users use the same method - its calle dCharacter Map and gives,as you said, available characters by Unicode block. Since this is built into the OS, no particular reason for oxygen to add it.
