--- Comment #5 from Bill Skaggs <[email protected]> ---
I have a few comments; apologies if I misunderstand the issues or am commenting
in the wrong place.

First, the ability to enter special characters should have higher priority. 
They are very frequently used -- long dashes the most frequently of all, but
many others too.

Second, the WikiEditor toolbar is probably overkill.  A better model may be the
CharInsert gadget that can be enabled in the English Wikipedia preferences. 
The JS code for the gadget can be found at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-charinsert.js

The gadget depends on a very simple extension called CharInsert, whose php code
can be viewed at

https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FCharInsert/8fa1602e22324b73491004957f02d5309302505b/CharInsert.php

Of course none of this can be used without modification, but it may provide a
model for a character insert interface that has been optimized for usability.
