I wonder if keyboards in the future will settle on a way to provide access to more characters, than is currently common.
I agree the keyboard thing is really annoying. Maybe the West should investigate the efforts China has put into different typing systems.
U+00A7 (codepoint 167) is also the Unicode codepoint for §. Its use on this very web page is via Unicode and the UTF-8 encoding as the bytes \xC2\xA7.
(This is meant as a narrow correction. It doesn't really change the broader point that § is not exactly easy to type on most keyboards. Whether its ASCII or not.)
