So, install PopChar and you will be able to select any character from a
drop-down or pop-up menu (I don't remember which it is in the Windows
version). Costs $30. <http://www.ergonis.com/products/popcharwin/>, or
<http://www.ergonis.com/products/popcharx/> for Mac users.

PopChar used to be a Mac-only utility and was free for many years. Then
a "Pro" version was introduced which was no better, but I still paid for
it, just to show my appreciation to the author. Now there is a Windows
version, too.

ObFood: Mushrooms in sour cream, Hungarian style. The recipe is from
_Hungarian Cookery Book_ by Károly Gundel. I'd use good wild mushrooms
for preference.
