Thanks for the explanation.

There are other function which are useless in the menu, like i.e. 
CTRL+C. Most (read 'all') users will use their keyboard.

About the position of 'ToglleUnicodeNotation' in the menu (if that ever 
becomes an issue 😉),  the 'edit' menu is a better place, because it's 
not inserting something.
