How to Insert Special Symbols and Characters in the Content Editor

The Insert Symbol button opens a panel of special characters. Put the cursor where the symbol should go and click one to insert it.

Like the emoji picker, it is one flat panel with a fixed set and no search. Scroll inside the Insert Symbol box to see the rest, or click Cancel to close it without inserting anything.

What is not in it

No currency symbols, so no euro, pound, yen or cent. No fractions, so no one-half or one-quarter. No degree sign. For any of those, type them from your keyboard or paste them in from elsewhere.
