Symbols in Text

We need the ability to add symbols to text we write in Scratch. Things such as copyright symbols, pi symbols, etc, etc. My idea is that right next to the font and size, would be something that says "Insert." Click it for a dropdown menu of symbols. Click one to insert it.


Thus I have spoken.

Re: Symbols in Text

Not a bad idea. I have had some luck with typing symbols in a word processor, and pasting (ctrl+V) them in the text written in Scratch. I don't know if all symbols are supported.

Really? I'll try that. Still, mine would be ideal.
