--- Comment #22 from Patrick Earley <[email protected]> ---
Czech editors have compiled a list of characters they find are vital for their
day-to-day editing. From
https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diskuse_k_Wikipedii:VisualEditor



Output    Name                                    Entity    Decimal
     nobreak space                            &nbsp;    &#160;
     thin space                            &thinsp;     
„    curly quotation marks begin (99)    &bdquo;    &#8222;
“    curly quotation marks end (66)            &ldquo;    &#8220;
‚    simple curly quotation marks begin    &sbquo;    &#8218;
‘    simple curly quotation marks end    &lsquo;    &#8216;
–    n-dash                                    &ndash;    &#8211;
×    times                                    &times;    &#215;

In particular, both kinds of quotation marks (we are very particular about
those, like the French about theirs) could be insertable either one by one or
in pairs, like so: „“ and ‚‘.
In general, easy access to inserting those characters would be a very desirable
feature for Czech editors – and even better would be the MS Word functionality
that automatically converts minuses into n-dashes and "English quotation marks"
into „Czech quotation marks“. Best, Littledogboy (diskuse) 1. 10. 2013, 11:35

Important: Although I've listed their codes, we usually enter n-dash and curly
quotation marks NOT as html entities, but simply like so „–“ (Alt-0132,
Alt-0150, Alt-0147 – yes, I am a robot). Littledogboy (diskuse) 1. 10. 2013,
