Unfortunately, I found the gnome character map difficult to fathom (until I realized "Latin" was my language). I wanted to use an n with a tilde to write the word Manana, or tomorrow, in Spanish. There were many variations of n, but I could not locate that particular (common, I'd think) character. As a raw n00b, perhaps this is just my stupidity showing.
