but we have improved it with some JavaScript
functions borrwed from the
edit toolbar. With these functions the character is directly inserted in
the editing box. Take a look at:

Looks neat, with FireFox it's really great. (How come with Opera there's
always this extra line between toolbar and edit box?)
Regarding my original question: So there is no technical reason for converting
special characters to HTML entities in UTF-8 Wikipedias? Actually I hoped so,
because that makes editing really awful for some languages.

I think the only relevant reason to switch to UTF-8 is not showing
#xxxx; codes for international scripts, so you are totally right.
