Tim, >From Frescobaldi menu: Tools | Special Characters -- my install has all three of the characters you mention (highlighted in the screen shot). This is the default view shown me when I select this Tool.
Depending on our OS you may find alternatives more useful. If you have a Windows computer, using ALT-Keypad# may prove useful. Once you know them, it's fairly quick, and a short guide will help. For example, … alt-0133 - elipsis symbol ° alt-0176 - degree sign • alt-0149 - list bullet · alt-0183 - middle dot – alt-0150 - en-dash — alt-0151 - em-dash ² alt-0178 - superscript 2 ³ alt-0179 - superscript 3 © alt-0169 - copyright symbol ä alt-0228 - umlaut a ë alt-0235 - umlaut e ï alt-0239 - umlaut i ö alt-0246 - umlaut o ü alt-0252 - umlaut u ñ alt-0241 - tilde n ß alt-0223 - German esszet § alt-0167 - section symbol ¢ alt-0162 - cent sign ÷ alt-0247 - division sign ± alt-0177 - plus-minus sign ¶ alt-0182 - paragraph symbol Hope this helps.
