I know, right?

For real though, Linux Mint comes with what seems to be a clone of it, name included, and I'm pretty sure I've seen other clones of it integrated into writing software. There have been plenty of opportunities to improve on the formula, and the experience is improved slightly, it's just not enough.

Edit: turns out the one in Mint is GNOME Character Map.

I admit I've never used it, but it seems to require you to know in advance the key presses to get the character you want, so it's not going to help if it's a character you only use rarely.
