TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress block editor (Gutenberg) users who want to insert special characters into their content. It solves the loss of the Classic Editor's special character inserter by adding that functionality back into Gutenberg, accessible via a keyboard shortcut or filterable character set.
