Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2015-04-25 00:23:06 UTC 
It would be useful to show the baseline of the symbol being previewed in the Special Character dialog, so a user knows how the symbol sits on the line. Saw this in gnome's new characters app and believe it would be a useful feature to include.
