Unicode Input

Hello!

Would it be possible to create an Unicode input? That new keyboard layout would only need the numerals 1-0 and the letters A-F. If you then enter a unicode value, Smart Keyboard would automatically change it to the character.

For example: Type 01DA and get ǚ.
Would also be nice if it not only supports the BMP, but also the other Planes (16 Bit).

I think this would be nice to be able to type some special characters, not found on any keyboard.

Thanks!

That may be possible, but if it's because a language is missing in Smart Keyboard, I will be happy to add it ;)

Well, the thing is that not everything in Unicode is really worth a keyboard layout.
Some characters are just... well :D Even though they may be nice to input sometimes.
(A problem could be that the android font does not support the character, but if you root the phone and have a different font, you could use it).
