Then I loaded a large book, and imported the special characters file. Just going through various files and making random edits inserting the characters, no slowdown noticed.
I don't think I have a book that is not ascii based, like something in Arabic, so can't I test that.
As to whether it is shown always or a menu item, I like the way it is now, since I can just glance at it, but if others report performance problems a menu item would also work.

Thank you for the testing and feedback! Glad to hear it is working well for you. And yes I asked that question about the menu item approach in case some testers reported significant (or just irritating) slowdowns.
Yes my worries would be non-ascii, CJK languages, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, etc. Hopefully someone who uses that language or at least has an existing epub that uses any of those languages could test and report back.
