Please forgive my ignorance!

What applications do you want to use when calling for these special 
characters?  Are you talking about applications such as (OOO)Write?  Or 
are you trying to put something into HTML using such a tool as Kate?  
Or what?

Another area in which I would be interested is what-all specific special 
characters are you interested in using?

Although I have done nothing like this in KDE 4.2+, I have had some 
mixed results when going beyond simple ASCII, and putting some 
Simplified Chinese characters into documents.  For example, I have had 
some on-screen display of HTML work rather nicely -- but fail to print 
workably on paper.  (I got "garbage"!)  I have also had mixed results 
when using full-form HanYu PinYin (which involves standard "Roman" 
letters, but with some diacritical tone-glyphs which have no equivalent 
in western European languages).

To some extent, I might have some useful information -- but it is far 
more likely that I am looking at extensions of your question!  It would 
be nice if we could share a solution.
