[Derek Harris [:DerekH] - Dont need info. Last day 6/5/15]

This seems like a blocker to me. The user should be able to see all available special characters. NI keyboard owner to weigh in on this decision.

[Blocking Requested - why for this release]:
Hi Howie, 
Might need your input to determine if this is 2.1 blocker.
