In the "Insert special characters" dialog, provide a favorites' list. This is useful in reusing the often-used characters.
Reassigned to requiremnts.

Also have an option to put favorite characters on the toolbar so one can be inserted without navigating menus. Then it would make sense to be able to select macros and templates from the toolbar too. The subset list of the special character box lists character sets in Unicode Character Set order, which isn't so user-friendly to a typist looking for character (most of the characters I want are in the general punctuation character set, way down the list). This makes a favorite (or most recent) character list even more important.
Adding my vote and an image as an example how does it could look like. https://forum.openoffice.org/fr/forum/download/file.php?id=116160
