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.
(composed in HTML mode, just to see what the effect of this "Insert
characters and features" is)
I am presented with a selectable base character and then all
composite variants thereof : I know of nothing similar in the various
Windows IMEs that approaches this in simplicity, so for me it would
be /very/ convenient to be able to "Insert characters and features" in
exactly the same way that those who elect to compose in HTML can do.
There would seem to be no /a priori/ justification for restricting this
feature to mails composed in HTML.
I currently cannot check this for 100%, as this Insert-option is
dysfunctional in my SM.
However, since it's specifically in the HTML-insert menu, I'm pretty
sure it does not create Unicode, but HTML-code.
When I enter a :-) from that very same menu, that's what SM puts in the
code:
<span class="moz-smiley-s1"><span> :-) </span></span>
So I would expect something like Ü to be create by that option.
Having HTML-options only available in HTML mode makes a very good sense.
However, it leaves the issue of Unicode open (see also my other post on
this thread).
