Windows Charmap is pretty useful for this ....

Many of these symbols are almost never going to be required by the 
average user. In fact I'm sure many of these are going to be, more often 
than not, used in non-traditional or inappropriate ways. Several 
characters are so infrequent that the majority of users don't know what 
they are for.

There are plenty of infrequent characters in the Windows ANSI set that 
are not usually *directly* accessible from US / Western European 
keyboards [ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â â â â Â â ] - and people are content to 
use  Windows Charmap or Word's "Insert Symbol for these. Why do *all* 
infrequent Tibetan characters need to be *directly* accessible from EWTS 
/ TISE?
