I think the rationale (if any) would be that your OS is supposed to take
care of that. If it supports Unicode, it should provide you a way to
produce Unicode chars in *any* application.

There's actually a related point I stumbled upon recently.
I'm operating on MacOS 10.7 and SM and FF versions are latest-release (2.4.1, 7.0.1).

When I edit text (text editor fields for both applications, composing mails/HTML/.../whatever in SM), I have an option in FF I don't have in SM:

Edit -> Special Characters (?) (It's Bearbeiten -> Sonderzeichen in FF/German)
(It's the bottom most entry for me.)

This opens an OS dialogue, which allows to select a very wide range of (UTF?) characters. (I get the same dialogue in various applications, when choosing the same menu item, so I assume it's MacOS specific with command option Alt-Cmd-t.)

SM does not offer this option to me.

This is totally unrelated to the previously discussed "Insert" menu, which only exists as a thing during HTML edit mode (and is a SM selector, as is obvious by the UI).

Is this a missing feature or some just some "UI/menu porting" issue (FF->SM, *->MacOS)?

At least on that OS, this would satisfy likely any need for special characters in any context (for editing text).

Best regards
Philipp
