If I am editing in CodeView and then hit Insert Special Character and Ctrl-click on a char, it gets pasted in CodeView.

If I am in the Find field, and then hit the Find button, then control and focus moves to CodeView. If I then Insert Special Character and Ctrl-click on a char, it gets pasted in CodeView.

This is exactly the reason it was designed that way and has worked that way literally for most of a decade.

And to make this very clear: I will not be changing that.

If you do not like that feel free to use Clips to insert any characters or strings you want. That is what clips was designed for.

Or get the Sigil code and tweak and build a version of Sigil that works the way you want.
I am not trying to argue. I want it to work the way I think you are saying it does work, but in this one case I believe it does not. If the Insert Special Character window is open and I enter text in the find and replace boxes and press find, focus for the keyboard goes to the code window but focus for the Insert Special Character window is not changed. Now characters from the keyboard go to a different place than characters from the Insert Special Character window. Is this really what you want?
