Insert Special Characters

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.
