Have a user or document-based virtual keyboard - character/character sequence shortcut
Description
In the context of allographetic transcription or in general when dealing with weird characters, some researchers make use of a wide range of characters. Sometime, those characters can be awful to find again (think weird monetary characters for example) and it can be quite useful to have the ability to record them (with a name for example).
It would be great if we could have a INSERT SPECIAL CHARACTER function and USER or preferably DOCUMENT-based list of (character|character-sequence, sequence name). Other solution like Transkribus use a custom virtual keyboard but I am sure that something like a search function would be efficient as well.
Having this at the document level might facilitate using the same character when cooperating with "colleagues". Retrieving some information from the model could be useful as well when dealing with reused model (but that's more a note for later than for right now ;) )

In order of preferences:
