Thread:VisualEditor/Feedback/ Bug : characters selector (for internationalization) missing

The useful characters selector (shown above the wiki code editor by clicking a button on its top bar), is definitely missing in the VisualEditor. There's also no support as well for input methods (set using the Universal Language Selector, aka ULS), meaning the many international users can't type the characters they need for their language or for more exact typography (e.g. apostrophes, maths symbols, IPA symbols), typically missing on their keyboards. Using characer name references is not an option for the VisualEditor. Please provide the characters selector, like in the wiki code editor.
