--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.fo...@utsa.edu> ---
In fact input with the Unicode toggle, or Special character dialog input for
these characters is already provided in the LibreOffice GUI.
Also, the generic Microsoft Windows ALT Code numberpad IME syntax works
correctly within LibreOffice -- i.e. <ALT>+0186 and <ALT>+0170 for the ordinal
indicators.
So l10n support needed for entering these specialized glyphs from a pt-BR
keyboard while helpful is really not necessary within LibreOffice.
As with duplicate bug 71176 the Special Character dialog, and the <alt>+x
Unicode toggle (bug 73691) already supports the general case for when locale
keyboard or OS provides an unsupported Input Method Engine (IME).
º - U+00ba - MASCULINE ORDINAL INDICATOR
ª - U+00aa - FEMININE ORDINAL INDICATOR
° - U+00b0 - DEGREE SIGN
So, for now it *is* trivial to input these and similar locale specific
characters without needing to implement them in LibreOffice l10n source for
keyboard deadkeys or other IME. But long term improvement in cross platform
support for making use of OS provided IME and keyboard mappings is needed for
i18n.
