## Description

Ever wanted to add a special character while working within the WordPress block 
editor (Gutenberg) and suddenly find yourself longing for the days of the Classic
Editor and the Special Character inserter? Well long no more, the Insert Special
Characters plugin is here to ease your publishing woes!

**Note:** you can display the popover via the `ctrl`/`cmd` + `o` keyboard shortcut.

Development takes place in the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/10up/insert-special-characters).

### Technical Notes

 * Requires PHP 7.4+.
 * Requires [WordPress](https://wordpress.org/) 6.6+
 * Issues and Pull requests welcome in the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/10up/insert-special-characters).

### Extending

To control the available tabs and characters, developers can filter the data set
using the `insertspecialcharacters-characters` JavaScript (`wp.hooks`) filter.

For example, to create a character inserter that only provides currency symbols:

    ```
    wp.hooks.addFilter(
        'insertspecialcharacters-characters',  // The filter name.
        'mycallback', // Our callback namespace.
        function( component ) { // The callback function.

            // Return the categories/characters to display.
            // The data structure is: { category: [ character data ], category2: ... }
            return {
                "Currency": [
                    { "entity": "&dollar;", "hex": "&#0024;", "name": "Dollar Sign", "char": "$" },
                    { "entity": "&euro;", "hex": "&#20AC;", "name": "Euro Sign", "char": "€" },
                    { "entity": "&cent;", "hex": "&#00A2;", "name": "Cent Sign", "char": "¢" },
                    { "entity": "&pound;", "hex": "&#00A3;", "name": "Pound Sign", "char": "£" },
                    { "entity": "&yen;", "hex": "&#00A5;", "name": "Yen Sign", "char": "¥" },
                ]
            };
        }
    );
    ```

 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Use Insert Special Characters!

## FAQ

### How come I do not see all the special characters?

When a character is displayed using a font that doesn’t support that character, 
a default « not defined » glyph from that font is used. The « not defined » glyph
in most fonts has the appearance of a rectangular box, or some variation of that.

One example of a font with support for wide range of glyphs is the [Noto](https://fonts.google.com/noto)
family by Google Fonts, which can be loaded by the theme to render the missing characters.

As a lover of em dashes, en dashes, diacritics, and typography and Unicode in general,
and a pedant for using the precise, proper characters where they are appropriate,
this plugin does exactly what I need it to do. It works very similarly to the insert-
special-characters feature of MediaWiki’s VisualEditor plugin, which I also love.
Bravo for this, and please keep up the good work.

THANK YOU! I am a typographer from way back when I was hand-setting (and pieing —
the term for spilling) little pieces of metal in the forms of letters, numbers &
dingbats. Special Characters is the WordPress feature I have missed most in Gutenberg,
and your plugin is the first & only that makes inserting Special Characters easy
and enjoyable. Look for a donation from this old type lover! ❤

Thank You! It solves a big problem in Gutenberg, which misses this function!

Thank you for this great plugin! WHY special characters are STILL absent from the
Gutenberg Wordpress editor — though it has been requested numerous times — is quite
the annoyance. This plugin is perfect! Thanks again!

This is perfect for me. Thanks for developing it!If there was an option to move 
it to the main toolbar without the need to use the dropdown, it would be a six-star
product
