this didn't work...

The only extension I've found that allows you to add special characters you use frequently. (Remember, clicking on it only copies it to the clipboard; you have to paste it for it to appear.)

Very useful, but could be so much better: 1. Needs Export and Import badly. Reinstalling Chrome wipes out added characters. 2. Needs ability to Reorder list. 3. Cascading menu with groups would be handy.
