They are no use for me in entering unusual characters, because I don't know their names. I want a system that lets me choose them by seeing them on the screen. I want to specify a language or script and see all its characters. For instance, if I enter 'turkish' it should show me all the characters used in Turkish. Then I could pick the dotless i from the buffer.
