I've created a <charinsert> extension which produces the little javascript inserter bits for the characters you feed it. This can be used in wikitext, such as the 'copyrightwarning' messages which was previously HTML.
Hmm, it doesn't seem to work properly. On la: I click the y-breve (which is two unicode characters, y and combining breve) and I get: y%CC%86%CC%86
If I click the o-breve (only one character) I get: %C5%8F
But it only seems to do this in Opera, as I just checked in Firefox and it works okay.
[Of course, the insert feature didn't really work in Opera to begin with; clicking to insert a character inserts it in a text field between the edit toolbar and the main article-editing text area, from whence it can be easily copied and pasted--Firefox doesn't even have this text field; I was surprised at how much easier inserting characters was, the first time I tried it.]
