Yes, unfortunately, due to technical limitations of the engine alt codes currently don't work. May I ask what special characters you use? There's an option to turn double dashes into em dashes, maybe I could implement something similar for other ones.
Hi, sure. I’m a bit obsessive about typography, so I use ellipsis (…), Polish quotation marks („”), rounded apostrophe (’), en and em dashes (—, –) on a more regular basis. It’s really not this big a problem though: as I said, I can copy them over from Notepad, or use the Windows Emoji panel (it has got a section with special characters).
Thank you for getting back to me!
