[libreoffice-documentation] Re: Record macro not available?

I noticed that mentioned under Experimental. So, what have I been using in OOo all these years? To type a character that's not on my laptop keyboard, having no clue how to write such a macro from scratch, I recorded the typing of some ordinary character, then edited it to paste in the char or
