On Mountain Lion, it's even simpler. (Straight in the edit menu,
ctrl-cmd-space).

I mentioned it, but the problem is indeed:
1: no one knows them/uses them
2: there is no trigger in HTML5/JS to open the panel

So some ideas:
1: Educate the user: Add a 'more characters' link in the insert symbol editor,
that detects OS of user and links to a page explaining how to access this panel
on his OS.
2: Lobby HTML5 WG to expose these panels to JS
