Dear Xara...

In claiming STP credentials, what is the recommended way of introducing characters with accents into my texts?

I have used MS Windows character Map and Alt-keypresses: https://usefulshortcuts.com/downloads/ALT-Codes.pdf.
Neither are satisfactory.

Expanding Insert > Symbol seem just right as a search against the base letter could easily return all the variants and groupings that align with the Alt-codes would be the bees' knees.
