Suggestion – a larger list of handy special characters for FineReader PDF

Good morning,

I am from Poland; we are close to Germany, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, and Sweden. In older scholarly texts, French was commonly used as a standard language.

That’s a lot of countries, and the handy list has only 18 slots—could an option be added to expand it?

In addition to alphabet characters, the program handles ’ ” „ poorly. With such a short list, I end up searching online for things like “a umlaut” just to avoid losing my “favorite” characters.

Yes, I could switch languages, but I already use five (Polish, English, German, Latin, and French), and then an umlauted u in italics is misrecognized, or there’s an author from the Czech Republic and I need a capital Ž (Z with a caron).

Also i used alt+0151 and alt+0151 insted of insert option.
