Description Jeremy Bicha 2017-09-23 03:01:57 UTC
GNOME Characters replaced Character Map in GNOME 3.20. I believe most distros now ship Characters instead of Character Map by default. (Ubuntu 17.10 is an exception but maybe that will happen for 18.04 LTS.)

https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/tips-specialchars.html

I suggest dropping Character Map from the main GNOME user documentation.

Otherwise, you'll need to help the user install it.
