Extending
To control the available tabs and characters, developers can filter the data set using the insertspecialcharacters-characters JavaScript (wp.hooks) filter.
For example, to create a character inserter that only provides currency symbols:
wp.hooks.addFilter(
'insertspecialcharacters-characters', // The filter name.
'mycallback', // Our callback namespace.
function( component ) { // The callback function.
// Return the categories/characters to display.
// The data structure is: { category: [ character data ], category2: ... }
return {
"Currency": [
{ "entity": "$", "hex": "", "name": "Dollar Sign", "char": "$" },
{ "entity": "€", "hex": "AC;", "name": "Euro Sign", "char": "€" },
{ "entity": "¢", "hex": "�A2;", "name": "Cent Sign", "char": "¢" },
{ "entity": "£", "hex": "�A3;", "name": "Pound Sign", "char": "£" },
{ "entity": "¥", "hex": "�A5;", "name": "Yen Sign", "char": "¥" },
]
};
}
);

FAQ
-
How come I do not see all the special characters?
-
When a character is displayed using a font that doesn’t support that character, a default «not defined» glyph from that font is used. The «not defined» glyph in most fonts has the appearance of a rectangular box, or some variation of that.
One example of a font with support for wide range of glyphs is the Noto family by Google Fonts, which can be loaded by the theme to render the missing characters.
