Why semicolons are lovely and colons less so

genuinely curious: is there not a GUI way to copy/paste special characters in either Linux or OSX to whatever it is you’re typing? So you don’t have to remember key combinations?

There are several for Linux, but if you are regularly using a special character then you are better off knowing the compose key or alt key combination for it. It will speed up your typing.
