--- Comment #8 from Nick Levinson <nick_levin...@yahoo.com> ---
I assume we'd like LibreOffice to gain acceptance among the general public,
most of whom wouldn't think of using a spreadsheet, Google, the Unicode site,
or Shapecatcher to identify a glyph, but might search (laboriously) the
character dialog, often futilely. We should avoid solutions that require a
geek's expertise to remember. Or, if we stay with that, Writer's Help file
should say how to do this.

I glanced at the URLs in comment 7. Support for drawing a glyph to identify it
is an amazing idea if recognition technology is up to it but I hope simply
copying and pasting a glyph, thus copying the bytes, will also be supported, as
that would avoid confusing glyphs as handwriting often would and it would
support identifying a whitespace or invisible (glyphless) control character
(usually one that has a character width of zero even in a monopitch font).
