Feature Suggestion: Support for foreign characters

I often use foreign alphabet letters (specifically Greek) for placeholders for certain characters when I'm building a story. I think it would be handy for CL to be able to display these characters.
Thanks

I googled and copied the characters from the first search result.

I know Jochen added international character support in the early days. I'm surprised a copy from Word does not work. Weird.

Let me know how it goes.

It could be that you are using a system font that lacks the Greek characters, while your default Word font supports them.
Using a Unicode system font would be the solution in that case.

Great insight, @ELF!

Times Roman has the extended characters, it's just a pain to have to enter them from the character map. I'm not savvy enough to have figured out how to get them (or which one I'm getting) through simple keyboard commands. In Word, I was using the symbol font which accesses them through straightforward keystrokes.

Anyhow, thank you. This will work.
