Agreed, there should be a function that gives all the Unicode characters
as input candidates and the user can select the one he wants quickly (I
don't see one currently). An input method wouldn't provide completion
candidates, so the user has to remember all the names he needs.
Would a few thousand candidates be a problem for completion? I've only
seen it with hundreds and it's not slow, but for this maybe maybe we can
break it down by block name and then character name.
