More Special Characters?

Thanks for the new Insert Special Character button, staff! Only... could there be more Special Characters there? Or could perhaps something be done about it so that one could draw directly from the Windows Insert Symbol table? Well I`m greedy, that I am! Sorry... Yet one could do with more diacritics to insert... The site is Unicoded, of course, but that`s of little use when one needs more than three languages with different diacritics. My own example: the default language is English (that means I can write Latin too, only I seldom need that), and as my computer is both Lithuanized and Russified I can switch to those languages at a click, but when it comes to Polish or French (wouldn`t mention Spanish because of the inverted question marks and such) I have either to restart the computer, or to click/copy/paste from the Word IS table (and copy the text to the Notepad afterwards, and only then paste that to wherever that`s to be pasted), or to just write with typos... That`s almost OK for the fora, but it`s really different when it comes to the TCT, because answers with typos would not do at all! Could something be done about that? I mean, some table of characters to be inserted while answering the TCT questions, so that one could concentrate ones attention on the answer and not on restarting/clicking/copying/pasting/...?



Thank you!



And I think I`ll make a poll of this, just in case... Because I myself find it difficult to understand what I have just written... Yet it seems to make some sense when I think of it. I hope creating a poll would  help me formulate this a bit more precisely ...

RE: More Special Characters?

I`ll rephrase my plea.

 

Are the askers happy to get "typoed" (because of the lack of some meagre diacritic) answers?

Should such answers (otherwise OK) be added to glossaries?

Are the answerers glad to answer uncertain (because of the diacritics, again) questions?

RE: Thanks, Staff!

This is very beautiful: what do you call them in Lithuanian? Do they grow in Lithuania, naturally?
