Hmm, it doesn't seem to work properly.
On la: I click the y-breve (which is two unicode characters, y and combining
breve) and I get: y%CC%86%CC%86

If I click the o-breve (only one character) I get: %C5%8F

But it only seems to do this in Opera, as I just checked in Firefox and it
works okay.

[Of course, the insert feature didn't really work in Opera to begin with;
clicking to insert a character inserts it in a text field between the
edit toolbar and the main article-editing text area, from whence it can
be easily copied and pasted--Firefox doesn't even have this text field;
I was surprised at how much easier inserting characters was, the first time
I tried it.]
