[Feature] Quick character menu needs special characters
Disclaimer:
I am not sure which project this particular issue pertains to. It's unclear if this feature is a shell feature, a Characters feature, or something else entirely. If a moderator would be so kind as to move this issue to the relevant project, it would be much appreciated.
I am specifically referencing the feature where you use the Ctrl+; global shortcut to bring up a quick emoji menu.
This menu is lacking special characters such as math, bullets, etc.
Feature description:
I'd like for the ability to search special characters in the quick emoji picker menu. This is consistent with similar features on other platforms like macOS, iOS, Android and Windows. The quick special character selector currently only supports emojis. I cannot tell you how many times I've opened this menu to add a temperature "degrees" symbol, a trademark, a registered, copyright, bullet point, math symbol, etc. and instead had to open this GNOME Characters and copy/paste instead. It would really improve the GNOME desktop experience to be able to quickly insert characters like this, alongside the wonderful colorful emojis!
