Properly arranged, and onscreen keyboard could give you any character in three keypresses tops, using just a directional ring. The D-ring has nine keys: N,S,E,W,NE,SE,SW,NW and a confirming center. The keyboard is a three-by-three grid of 3x3 characters. You start in the center large square, which is blank. One arrow gets you to the center of any small square. Hit Enter if the character you want is in the center of the small square, else hit another arrow and then Confirm to get any other character. That's 72 possible characters.
