Ever since Unicode entry (via Verbatim Input) was introduced, any Unicode code point has to be typed as six hexidecimal digits. This is clumsy when wanting to input something like a combining overline (U+0305) or division sign (U+00F7): it requires typing several useless leading zeroes. It would be much easier if the user could type just the required digits and then hit <Enter> or <Space>, and done. So instead of needing to type:
the user could type:
It looks longer, but it is in fact shorter, and one doesn't need to calculate in one's head the number of required leading zeroes. |
