Yeah, I first noticed it in Finereader, I thought it was pretty helpful.
I don't often click on the
Insert Special Characters within programs... but I poked around.
Word 2010 also has the "Recently used Symbols":
LibreOffice doesn't currently:
although they are reworking it for 6.0:

If font isn't displayed in a dropdown, it should at least be settable in the Options.
Depending on the font, sometimes you just have no idea what certain characters are because they look wildly different from what you are used to:
I mostly use
Special Characters when trying to select Greek characters that were wrongly OCRed... so I try to just go by "the look". Depending on the font, sometimes the Greek letters ζχψ are squiggly, sometimes not.
Also, a lot of fonts are missing things like Greek letters with accents or obscure math characters... so it is helpful to scroll through fonts until you see something you recognize.
