Please add custom or extended character sets unrelated to human languages. The symbol sets seem limited to currencies, numbers and punctuation. While this is obviously functionally necessary, there may be many symbols unavailable as a result. If Unicode (utf-8, 16 or 32) or a subset or symbol fonts are available then HTML character codes perhaps ought not to be needed in many situations.
Examples: Phonetic alphabet (IPA), Smilies, Chess figures, mathematical symbols, playing cards.

The way I tested this was by adding every available vkb language. (The Eastern and Asian symbol writing seems good, though as a non-native non-user of those languages my opinion is only valid as an unsubstantiated comment.)

This implementation would not need much more than (famous last words) addition of character codes on virtual keyboards. The keyboards could be made as scrollable all-screen charts.
