Can I customize the context menu Insert Unicode control character on Windows 10 21H1?

If no, how to provide easy input of 40-50 frequently used Unicode characters in Windows 10 21H1 by selecting them from a custom list (instead of using the Alt+hexadecimal code)?

Thanks

    The menu is hardcoded inside user32.dll.mui (with different languages in C:\windows\system32)
    So it cannot be changed, except by program (in C++ for example)

    Do you have any idea about the second part of my question?
