Thoughts anyone?
How about 512? I personally added around 400 characters to the SpecialCharacter.cpp file for my workflow.
Just gathering frequently used units like ℃, ㎠, ㎟, and ㎡, along with superscripts and subscripts for editing accessible science e-books, easily adds up to nearly 100. Print book typesetters often combine standard text like 'cm2' or 'mm2', so for accessibility, I need to replace them all with proper symbols like ㎠ and ㎟.
256 seems a bit too small to fit other frequently used code as well.
