Hardly unpopular where I live. Lots of source code contains € and much else. Grepping for it in the code I worked on last week, I find non-ASCII character in dozens of tests, in some scripts that seem to be part of CI, in a comment about a locale-specific bug, and I stopped looking there.
How to enter them? Well, the keys are on the keyboard.

- sigseg1v 2y agoChinese enter words into a keyboard using the same type of keyboard you would use in North America. The characters are entered as "pinyin" which is a romanized phonetic method of describing Chinese words. You should be able to enter it into your keyboard on Windows for example by enabling Simplified Chinese / pinyin in the language input settings.
